General Motors dealers have significantly expanded their technician workforce, hiring 23 percent more staff than in 2021, according to the automaker. The increase follows targeted investments in training programs, partnerships with veteran hiring initiatives, and practical education efforts aimed at addressing industry labor shortages. Industry analysts suggest the move reflects both growing demand for vehicle maintenance and repairs and GM’s push to strengthen its dealership network. The company’s focus on upskilling workers could set a model for others in the automotive sector facing similar challenges.
