Bogi Lateiner is a familiar face in the automotive service industry. She’s a technician, former shop owner, host of All Girls Garage on Motor Trend TV and a champion for women in the technical trades. She’s also a spokesperson for ASE and one of the trainers at the ASE Education Foundation Instructor Conference this year. The automotive industry is changing and the number of women working as technicians is growing. We caught up with Bogi at the conference to get her thoughts on how we can change the culture in what has been typically a male-dominated workforce to be more welcoming to those young women thinking about a career in the automotive industry. She offers some advice for those training the next generation of technicians, as well as those already working in shops across the nation, and shares some of her experience to help better understand how we can change our culture to improve professionalism and evolve our industry for the workforce of today and tomorrow.
