The RV Technical Institute and RV Women’s Alliance are partnering on a second all-women RV technician training class this year. It takes place the week of July 24 in Jacksonville, Florida.
This class is in addition to the five classes already scheduled throughout 2023 in Dallas; Tualatin, Oregon; Elkhart, Indiana; Camp Hill, Pennsylvania; and in Jacksonville, which are scheduled for Aug. 14-18.
The Level I training class will get attendees familiar with the seven main RV systems, including propane, plumbing, electrical, appliances, generators, body and chassis. Upon graduation, students will have the working knowledge necessary to perform pre-delivery inspections. They will also then be eligible to take Level II classes, where they’ll learn the basics of repairing and maintaining these systems.
“Because of Florida’s need for technicians and the overwhelmingly positive response to the all-female technician class, there was enough demand to add another session,” said the RV Technical Institute’s Director of Recruitment, Tracy Anglemeyer. “In addition, the Florida RV Trade Association stepped up to sponsor the class and, ultimately, help the state of Florida increase its number of trained technicians. We’re excited about the RV Women’s Alliance and Florida RV Trade Association’s partnership and look forward to seeing how that can facilitate more women receiving technician training.”
“We are thrilled to establish a partnership between the RV Women’s Alliance and The Florida RV Trade Association for our all-women RV technician class, marking a significant stride towards inclusivity and growth,” said Susan Carpenter, president of the RV Women’s Alliance. “This collaboration not only elevates the industry but also cultivates a diverse and skilled workforce, propelling the wheels of progress and innovation ever forward.”
