| 摘要： | Palletline Logistics is a group of nine UK hauliers which run a combined fleet of nearly 500 vehicles to transport goods across the country. Of the partners, S&S, of Tonbridge, Kent and ABE of Ledbury, Herefordshire, have workshops, each employing six technicians. Sam Loader reflects on how technicians' roles have changed since he was an apprentice 20 years ago. "When I started, it was a physically demanding job; brute strength was needed for changing [parts]. There were no control units. [Now] those jobs have gone, and there are more computers and diagnostics, and it has become much more complex. Today, it's about being as knowledgeable as possible and understanding systems. Where people fall down is by not staying with the technology. One thing I am hot on is continuing training. Each year we do manufacturers' courses to stay with the technology, or you don't have a chance." Loader, who joined S&S in 2007, remains a big supporter of the early stages of training, too. S&S's apprenticeship programme consists of a three-year Level 3 qualification with block-release at IPS college of Rochester, Kent. The course has had a good track record; only one of its eight apprentices, has left the industry, he reports. |
