Book Description
An international team of researchers studied the following aspects of training in Spain's motor vehicle repair and sales sector: structure and characteristics; institutional and social context; relationship to Spain's overall labor market; changing structural, economic, and organizational conditions; and training and recruitment and relationship to Spain's education system. Social and labor/employment statistics were analyzed, and case studies of three auto dealerships and one authorized vehicle repair center were conducted. The firms varied in size; however, all were linked to large manufacturers. Consequently, all four firms had manufacturer-designed systems of continuing training to keep employees current with innovations in new vehicle models. No great satisfaction with commercial training was found in any of the case studies. In general, workers and unions were not involved in training-related decisions. A transition from training based on a functional model in which training is viewed as a catalogue of tasks to be performed to a systematic concept in which continuous updating is seen as essential to survival in the sector appeared to be in progress. The report includes 49 tables/figures, and contains 18 references. (MN)

Book Description
Training in Denmark's motor vehicle repair and sales sector was examined in a study that included the following approaches: review of the sector's structure/characteristics, institutional/social context, changing conditions and their implications for skill requirements and training, and available initial and continuing vocational education and training; in-depth case studies of four auto repair shops and dealerships; and identification of economic, employment, and training trends. It was discovered that increasing competition within the sector has led to increasing emphasis on customers and, consequently, increased awareness that well-trained, competent workers are essential to maintaining customer loyalty. Decreasing vehicle sales and decreased need for vehicle repairs have led to falling wages and a decrease in the number of available positions in the sector. Availability of continuing vocational training varies considerably throughout the sector. Only authorized dealers and repair shops have access to importers' courses, and importers lack the capacity to meet dealer interest in their courses. Despite recent collective bargaining agreements stipulating employees' right to at least 1 week of continuing vocational training annually and despite the need for workers to upgrade their skills in response to technological advances, public continuing vocational training activities have decreased in recent years.

Book Description
Training in the motor vehicle repair and sales sector in the Netherlands was examined in a study that included the following approaches: review of the sector's structure/characteristics, institutional and social context, employment practices, changing conditions, and available education and training; in-depth case studies of four auto repair shops and dealerships (two small, one medium-sized, and one large firm); and identification of economic, employment, and training trends. It was discovered that, in response to stagnation of the Dutch motor vehicle sales and repair industry in the 1990s, both the Dutch government and the industry have increased their commitment to vocational training and inservice courses and have created a training infrastructure that compares favorably with those of other sectors in the Dutch economy. All four businesses studied in depth were managed by individuals who were very involved in training, had access to good facilities and opportunities for on-the-job teaching/training, and could avail themselves of good external provisions for inservice training. Quality of service was an important element of training philosophy. Training needs were not always analyzed in a very structured way, and none of the businesses studied evaluated systematically the costs/benefits of training. Contains 20 references and 19 tables/figures. (MN)
