In the webinar, Dick Krieger lays out 45 battle-tested tips distilled from decades of visiting strong programs across the U.S. and Canada. He tackles the frustrations every instructor knows too well—low enrollment, outdated fleets, limited budgets, disengaged students, and administrative blind spots—while showing exactly how top-performing shops turn those challenges into strengths. The emphasis stays on practical moves you can actually control: smarter marketing that fills seats, community partnerships that bring in vehicles and support, curriculum tweaks that earn academic credit, and targeted equipment upgrades that keep training aligned with what dealerships and fleets demand right now.
Whether you’re fighting for relevance in a traditional auto program or building out EV and hybrid capabilities, the message is clear: the right tools, the right visibility, and the right industry connections turn a good shop class into a program that administrators fight to keep and students line up to join.
