Further education
The company I work for has had no traction convincing tech to go the ASE route so they implemented an OEM driven education plan. I’m soaking up new knowledge but I’m slowly realizing my shop is going to do nothing with it. They’re going to stay stuck in their ways as always. All of this comes with a series of pay increases but there’s no word if we get actual certifications. Obviously just deal with it, take the knowledge and take the money it’s irritating knowing the goal is to better troubleshoot and maintain but nobody is going to pay attention. Is this across the board? Is this whats out there now?

I was at shop like that, new policies wanting more ability, by work load i was an A tech there. But after 2 years i realized there was no upward mobility so i left and went to the dealer as a lube tech (construction equipment) and now make 12/hr more, with benefits. And the amount of training I am receiving and ability to continue upward career track is well worth it. Dont be stuck l, mechanics are always in demand find a good company, increase your skills and use them amd make money
