Isuzu Ute Australia’s (IUA) technical pathway program has been named a 2024 finalist in the annual Australian Institute of Training and Development (AITD) Awards.
Nominated for the first time since the program commenced in 2022, the Brisbane-based distributor is the only automotive brand out of 19 finalists in contention for the Blended Learning Solution category.
Open to all industries in Australia, the Blended Learning Solution category recognises organisations that apply a combination of learning delivery mechanisms and methodologies to improve the quality of participants’ outcomes.
IUA’s Technical Pathway Program has paved the way for 500 dealership technicians, who have completed one of the dozen online and in-person technical training courses at the automotive brand’s training facilities in Melbourne and Brisbane.
“We are constantly evolving the training curriculum and are honoured to be recognised as one of the finalists of this year’s AITD awards,” Isuzu Ute Australia’s senior aftersales learning and development manager, John Jones, says.
“A finalist nomination is an amazing level of recognition that reflects both the effort of the training department and also the dedication of IUA to deliver such robust training to our network.”
“While the nomination is quite the honour, it reflects the calibre of training facilitated by our team. We owe it to our technicians to offer the highest level of training, as we owe that same commitment to the thousands of Isuzu drivers who trust our technicians to keep their vehicles on the road through our service centres,” he says.
Australia’s top training programs will be named at the 2024 Australian Institute of Training and Development Excellence Awards Ceremony, which will be held on October 10 in Sydney, New South Wales.
