Tackling the Tech Shortage with I-CAR's Conner Janning

from Collision Course · host Babcox Media

In this episode, Jason Stahl discusses the technician shortage with Conner Janning who, as a traveling welding instructor for I-CAR, is on the front lines of the tech shortage and, as such, has a rare, firsthand view of what it will take to rebuild the tech pipeline.  Janning is trying to change the narrative around collision repair, showing students that collision repair isn’t just "fixing cars" but a modern, tech-forward career that blends engineering and safety-critical problem solving.
