Did you know that 70% of change initiatives with new programs/systems will fail due to a lack of leadership commitment? I want to focus on mentor/mentee and apprenticeship programs, which are most critical to our industry’s survival. You can lose your way without processes, procedures, and accountability to mold your apprentice into your shop. Too much talk and not enough action is the breakdown. Luckily for you, my guest, Marc Brune, has a program focused on helping businesses develop entry-level technician mentoring programs with the tech shortage in mind.

Key Talking Points

3 key people- manager, mentor, mentee

People are looking for a plan and someone to help along the path

Preparing for business before entry-level candidate comes on board- do you have the right culture for a positive mentor-mentee atmosphere? Who will be the best person to step in (manager) and mentor (can multitask)

Mentor- teaches not only automotive but also speaks the culture of the shop

Mentoring vs. teaching- teaching is 1-way street, and mentoring is a 2-way street

Assessment- 15 different categories, ranked in order of importance
