Car dismantler, dream job of the future<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Business and education join forces<\/h1>\n

As cars become increasingly complex, the job of car dismantler is also becoming more interesting. Albert de Boer, Director of ReclyCar in Stadskanaal, is well aware that the business community and educators will need to join forces if the car-dismantling sector is to maintain a supply of well-trained employees in future. He is a staunch proponent of diligent and future-proof training.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Despite there not being a specific training for car dismantlers, it is a trade that really matters. Of all the people employed in the automotive sector, about 10 per cent of them work in the car-recycling sector. \u201cTo ready ourselves for the large number of electric cars that will have to be recycled in future, today\u2019s employees will have to be trained and regularly retrained,\u201d says Albert de Boer. \u201cTo underscore the continuity of your company, you have to continuously invest in your young people. They are, after all, tomorrow\u2019s employees.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Recruiting tomorrow\u2019s employees<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For many years now, this Stadskanaal-based entrepreneur has been able to successfully bind future employees to ReclyCar. \u201cIn our experience, technology students often think that following an internship at a garage will allow them to tinker on new cars,\u201d explains De Boer. \u201cBut a garage has a responsibility towards its customers, so in fact trainees enjoy less freedom to tinker there than they would at a car-dismantling company. We think these students will learn more with their hands than they will from books. With us, they have the freedom to put the theory they learn at school into practice.\u201d<\/p>\n

How does a gearbox work, for example, and how do the gearwheels in a gearbox interact one another? In a car-dismantling company, students can see exactly how a car is put together. \u201cAnd not only does this teach them a lot, it also fires their enthusiasm for this wonderful profession while they are still young,\u201d continues De Boer. \u201cIt\u2019s already difficult to find staff and this is a situation that\u2019s expected to become even worse during the coming years. By forging a bond with work-experience students, you\u2019ll win them over and make them feel at home while they are still young. In our immediate environment we see that companies that don\u2019t offer work-experience places to students find it more difficult to recruit the right people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

Advantages<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n

De Boer is convinced that binding with youngsters offers another important advantage in that it removes a negative preconception. \u201cOnce upon a time, breaker\u2019s yards had a poor reputation, which is largely still the case among the parents of these students. If you can show those same parents how good and well organised car-dismantling companies are nowadays, you can neutralise that preconception.\u201d The company appeals to pupils as young as possible, those still at primary school. \u201cWe give them guided tours and ask them several questions that they can answer in groups. Injecting a competitive element into it all and ensuring that there is a winner at the end makes them pay even more attention.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another advantage of working at a dismantling company, as opposed to a garage, is that at five o\u2019clock you can simply stop and pick up where you left off the following day, continues De Boer. \u201cThere is more time pressure associated with working for a garage, because customers want to collect their cars at the end of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Increasing complexity<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Changes to the composition of cars have repercussions for the work of car dismantlers. \u201cAs cars become more complex, so too does the profession,\u201d says De Boer. \u201cBut that, in fact, only makes the work more interesting and varied. In addition to a dismantling department we also have a warehouse, as well as a sales and an internet-marketing department. During a work-experience internship, students can discover which aspect appeals to them most. That could vary from the actual dismantling of cars to the preparation or sale of the recovered parts.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n

Training and courses<\/strong><\/h3>\n
With the exception of training to be a car mechanic, there is no training programme on offer that focuses completely on car dismantling. However, there is a significant training and course offering for people who work in car-dismantling companies. For example, together with Innovam, ARN has developed a training course for the safe dismantling of electric cars. Following this training enables dismantlers to meet current requirements for working safely on e-vehicles, based on the NEN 9140 standard. If they successfully complete this training programme, participants receive the certificate \u201cSafe dismantling of e-vehicles\u201d. ARN reimburses the training costs for one person per car-dismantling affiliated company and partially reimburses the costs for the second and third persons. De Boer is disappointed that courses provided by car manufacturers are often only available for dealerships. \u201cManufacturers often keep their data to themselves. It would be a great help to the car-dismantling sector if they were more open about it.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n

Collaboration with regional training centres<\/strong><\/h3>\n
In addition to Innovam, ReclyCar employees are also trained by local ROCs (regional training centres). \u201cWe enjoy close cooperation and an excellent relationship with several ROCs. For example, not only do we recruit students from their vocational training courses, we also supply vehicles and parts to their automotive engineering departments, which they then use for practical training. Typically, they will come to us if they have a student with special needs. Not long ago, for example, a young lad with language problems spent some time in our warehouse to familiarise himself with the sector jargon.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n

Train locally<\/strong><\/h3>\n

De Boer is a huge proponent of local training. \u201cIf all companies were to have their employees trained nearby it would save travel time, thus removing the barrier to participation for many employees and employers. Moreover, it would also be more sustainable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the intensive role he already plays in stimulating young talent, De Boer still identifies clear opportunities for further development. This year, for example, he and his company intend to explore how their collaboration with ROC Noorderpoort can be taken a step further. \u201cWe are also investigating how we can connect with other ROCs, so that, as a sector, it will be possible to develop courses that are even more in line with the real world. In this way we can collectively ensure that we are ready for whatever the future throws at us!\u201d<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
