Celebrating National Skilled Trades Day Year-Round

Did you know? National Skilled Trades Day falls on the first Wednesday in May every year. While this holiday is a relatively new celebration, having been given its start in 2019, all of us here at Maritime Chevy are proud to acknowledge our amazing Service Technicians. In fact, we believe our skilled technicians deserve recognition all year-round – as does General Motors and the Chevy brand. 

With the recent shortage of qualified technicians, GM implemented its Technician Excellence Program at the beginning of 2022 with the desire to recognize and support our Service Technicians all year long. This program is to help support our current and future technicians by offering a mix of virtual and hands-on training that will achieve different levels of certification and quarterly rewards. During the program’s first quarter of implementation, roughly 70% of all GM technicians were enrolled with more than 9,000 technicians having qualified for a reward within their certification brackets. 

In addition to supporting our current technicians, GM is also committed to building the future back up to its full potential. With a new “Bring Us Your Talent’ marketing campaign, GM hopes to inspire future skilled technicians to take advantage of what can be a very lucrative and rewarding career path.
