One of the most common questions we receive from incoming trainees is, “What does an average day look like?” In this blog we will answer exactly that. Trainees at ADTC dive into a comprehensive program that seamlessly blends online adaptive learning, instructor-led lectures, and hands-on applications. Lasting 6 weeks, our intensive training equips aspiring technicians with the skills needed for a successful career in their chosen field (Diesel Mechanics, Truck Body Repair (Collision), HVAC Repair, PowerGen, or New Building Maintenance).

In a recent meeting with one of our employer partners, we were met with a light-hearted compliment that perfectly encapsulated the transformative power of active marketing in the search for skilled labor. "I feel like Forrest Gump. We have been struggling to find people for years and now ADTC magically filled our boat with shrimp!" We adore this analogy, but let's be clear—unlike the 1994 classic, this isn’t mere luck. In the vast sea of employment opportunities, the challenge of finding skilled labor is akin to fishing in a crowded ocean. Traditional methods, such as job-posting sites, job fairs, and passive recruitment agencies, are like outdated fish traps.

ADTC knows firsthand how difficult it is to find skilled employees. We hear it every day. Recently, our Founder and CEO was talking to a friend of who invests in construction, electrical, and plumbing companies. “These guys are all selling because they can’t take it anymore.” “Take what?” Tim said. His friend replied, “They are getting out of the business because they can’t handle the frustration. They can’t service current customers and they can’t grow their businesses and they know it’s only going to get worse.”

In today's competitive job market, finding qualified diesel mechanics can be a challenging task. The demand for skilled technicians is on the rise, and employers are constantly seeking innovative solutions to bridge the technician shortage gap.
