JOBS OF THE FUTURE THE CARAVAN INDUSTRY LAUNCHES VOCATIONAL TRAINING Enrolments in training schemes in the caravan industry are on the rise, as is the demand for qualified skilled workers. In order to meet the specific requirements of the caravan industry, the German Board of Trustees for Vocational Education and Training (KWB) has thus decided to restructure and modernise the profession of “chassis and vehicle construction mechanic”. The creation of a third specialist area, “caravan and motorhome technology”, will in future specifically address the growing demand for specialised skilled workers.

Caravans differ from other motor vehicles in many ways. New material mixes are increasingly being used in the manufacture of motorhomes and caravans, resulting in new joining processes and technologies. The increasing number of driver assistance systems, the interconnectedness of vehicle systems and as changes in legal regulations and standards also create particular demands. With the vocational training programme “caravan and motorhome technician”, specialists will receive targeted training for the manufacture, maintenance and repair in motorhomes and caravans. Retrofitting work and maintenance of various systems in motorhomes and caravans are also part of the programme.
