In this episode of the Fleet News Group Podcast, we talk with Louise Azzopardi — life coach, mentor, keynote speaker, and industry ambassador — about how fleet workshops can attract, train, and retain the next generation of mechanics and technicians.
Louise shares her remarkable journey from a 15-year-old apprentice at Cummins South Pacific to becoming the first female Gold Medallist in the Australian National Heavy Vehicle competition and representing Australia with the Skillaroos.
She now helps organisations build better workplace cultures and gives practical advice for fleet managers:
Using work experience to find talent early
Creating a shame-free learning environment
Training leaders to teach, not just supervise
Embracing diversity as a strength
It’s an inspiring and practical conversation for anyone managing workshops or apprentices.
