The motor vehicle industry in Quebec is evolving rapidly. From mechanics to technological transformation and electrification, businesses in this sector must not only adapt but also face challenges related to qualified personnel.

In this context, Innoviste positions itself as an essential player for employers and workers, offering concrete solutions in training, human resources, and career promotion. Benefiting from a unique communication channel with the Commission des partenaires du marché du travail (CPMT), Innoviste maintains a privileged connection with government bodies to reflect the needs and challenges of the motor vehicle industry.

Innoviste deploys various training programs tailored to the needs of businesses and their employees. For example, the Attestation of Vocational Studies (AEP) in electric vehicle mechanics, offered by several vocational training centers in Québec, provides a work-study program that enables workers to develop their skills while applying their knowledge in the workplace. In addition to some online courses, Innoviste also offers workplace apprenticeship programs for specific trades, as well as skills recognition programs to validate and value the experience of seasoned workers.

Recently, Innoviste launched a continuing education initiative to align the entire training ecosystem with the needs of the motor vehicle industry. This effort brings together all stakeholders to ensure that training programs meet the evolving demands of both workers and employers.

Innoviste supports employers in the motor vehicle industry with personnel management challenges. Instead of offering individualized assistance, Innoviste takes a comprehensive approach to address common industry issues. By conducting analyses and surveys within businesses, Innoviste identifies widespread challenges—from labor shortages to retention and continuous training needs—and develops adaptable tools for the entire sector.

To ensure a robust future for the motor vehicle industry, Innoviste actively invests in promoting and elevating industry careers for young people and career-switchers. The “Carbure aux défis” campaign, for example, highlights professional pathways in trades such as mechanics, bodywork, and soon, parts and accessories sales as well as technical consulting. By addressing labor shortages and expanding career opportunities, Innoviste enhances the industry’s appeal to a new generation of workers.

By combining training, sharing best practices, data collection, and career promotion, Innoviste serves as a catalyst within Quebec’s motor vehicle industry. Its expertise and unique positioning enable employers to better face current market challenges while ensuring that the industry remains competitive and innovative.

Through its efforts and the collaboration of various industry partners, Innoviste stands out as a valuable ally for all businesses in the industry, from repair shops to dealerships, ensuring the success and growth of this essential sector.
