Revved Up About Learning
Local 2 News (KPRC-TV) highlights San Jacinto College Auto Collision Repair Program in Houston, Texas.  The video expressed how the students are pumped to learn this skill.  There will always be auto accidents, which is job security for the collision repair industry.

High Demand
Not only are accidents a factor for the demand in the industry, but finding qualified technicians to replace the current generation of technicians is a concern too.  The video reports that the average technician is 55 years old. This is resulting in many technicians leaving the industry, which is creating a shortage of technicians.

Lean: One size does not fit all – – ABRN (Automotive Body Repair News)

So what do you think?  I know that you have heard of lean, but what’s your opinion?  I think there is a place for lean, but I agree with the statement, “once size does not fit all.”

This is not about lean, but in education, Kansas required all Collision Repair Programs to align with each other.  We all had to completely change our curriculum to fit the alignment.   Again, I think there is some value in doing this, but it kind of seems like the cookie cutter approach to me.  Any special niches or training that helped meet the needs of the local communities were washed out in the alignment.

Just like with anything, there are going to be pros and cons.  Be sure to read this article about lean that I found on ABRN then give me your opinion about lean.
