Action RV in New Mexico recently hosted more than 25 students from a local high school’s trade class at its RV repair center where they were introduced to the idea of a career as an RV technician.
Mark Podeyn, CEO of Action RV, has been instrumental in the development of the new RV Technical Institute’s curriculum and understands the opportunity the institute is creating to address the shortage of trained RV technicians, according to the company.
During the visit to Action RV, students watched a presentation about the skills and knowledge needed to be a successful RV technician, toured the facility and RVs in for repair, and participated in demonstrations of shop tools and equipment.
The experience of an in-person visit to an RV dealership or repair facility, combined with information about the comprehensive training program, curriculum and career path provided by RVTI, creates a case for students to consider a career as an RV technician. Following the tour of Action RV, multiple students inquired about internship opportunities and summer job positions.
