Isuzu Powers TAFE Tech Training Boost

Job for life

IAL's Brett Stewart reinforced the notion that a career as a diesel mechanic remains a long-term proposition, with a range of employment opportunities available well into the future. ​

"Diesel engine technology, whether it be in trucks, off-highway applications or a range of other heavy industries, has a strong future despite perceptions," said Mr Stewart. ​

"Demand is only increasing and with engine technology and overall efficiencies improving drastically, the need for trained technicians will remain strong for many decades to come.

"This means that Isuzu dealers and other workshops will be busy places, and the most valuable resource will be skilled technicians.

"I started as a diesel apprentice and did all my TAFE studies at the Gordon Geelong. I forged a successful career in workshops, dealerships, and now within a leading OEM. ​

"Having professional training is a skill for life and can lead to a range of opportunities that many people never imagined."
