As Rod touched on in his column, our industry is in full discussion at the moment on the future of zero and low-emission technologies in Australia, and it was great to be able to delve deep into discussion on this topic, and many others, at our Carmageddon symposium in July. It was also fantastic to see so many of our members in attendance and taking part in panel discussions on the future of service station facilities, dealerships, and workforce management. Thank you to all involved!
Carmageddon marked the beginning of a busy events season here at MTA Queensland. Our third and final Auto Women Connect virtual event will be held on Wednesday, 17th August, and features a fantastic line-up of industry experts and mentors! We are also finalising details for the inaugural Auto Women Dinner on Friday, 7th October and will be sending out invitations very shortly, so stay tuned.
Rod and I are also preparing to embark on our next round of regional visits, heading to the Gold Coast, Maroochydore, and Toowoomba at the end of August to meet with members and discuss business conditions and their priorities, and how we can help them get the most out of their business in 2022. If you reside in any of these locations and are yet to register for these sessions, click HERE to RSVP and we look forward to seeing you there.
Finally, I am pleased to advise that we are now taking applications for the MTA Queensland VET Trainer Scholarship. Now into year two of offering, the Scholarship is a fantastic opportunity for automotive professionals to take their first step towards a career in training and assessing the next generation of automotive experts. Applications close 1 September 2022.
