How the Australian Government is tackling the EV mechanic skills shortage

AutoExec Summary
The Australian Federal Government has expanded its New Energy Apprenticeships Program to include training for apprentice mechanics working on electric vehicles (EVs). Apprentices in 40 different occupations, including automotive technicians, can now receive up to $10,000 in incentives. This move aims to address climate change, skills shortages, and support the transition to clean energy. The program will help equip technicians to work on EVs, hybrids, and traditional internal combustion engines. The Australian Automotive Dealer Association and the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries have both welcomed the program expansion, seeing it as crucial for developing new skills in the automotive sector.
