The National RV Training Academy (NRVTA) has released the first three videos in a series of online commercials encouraging people to becoming RV technicians.
“The industry has been struggling to find trained technicians for many years. With people losing jobs during this period of economic uncertainty, now may be an opportunity to encourage people to become RV service technicians,” said Terry Cooper, president of NRVTA. “The RV industry has been woefully underserved by the number of trained technicians. … Dealers have been screaming for techs for many years. It’s time we went on the offensive to promote this career opportunity.”
The tongue-in-cheek videos were produced by the NRVTA staff to open eyes regarding possibilities that there is a need for techs and that anyone could handle the job regardless of age or sex.
The first video, titled “Hey Babe,” celebrates the fact that women make great RV service techs.
The second video, titled “I’m a Man,” challenges guys to step out in a job that involves working with their hands. It also promotes being a self-employed business owner as a mobile RV technician.
The third video, “NRVTA Home Study Course RV Maintenance Training for Everyone” encourages people to get training to fix many of the problems that people experience with their RVs. The commercial promotes a home study course.
“A lot of people who invested in stocks for years are wondering today whether that was a wise strategy,” said Cooper. “But, when you invest in yourself, you enjoy unlimited opportunity for personal and professional growth which often leads to better pay and more options.”
