State Association Taps NADA University to Launch Training Program for Young Dealers
Using NADA University’s online resources, the Texas Automobile Dealers Association has launched the Texas Dealer Academy program to provide young dealers in the state with access to online professional development training.
AUSTIN — The Texas Automobile Dealers Association (TADA) has launched the Texas Dealer Academy program to provide future dealers in the state with 24/7 access to the comprehensive online professional development training.
The program taps the online resources of NADA University, the education and training arm of the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA). It also offers young and upcoming dealership professionals new networking opportunities and active engagement in its grassroots legislative and regulatory activities on issues impacting the industry.
As a subscriber to NADA U's premium online content option, NADAvt, theTADA enrolls all dealer successors and key managers in the program and gives them access to all online training.
“Information is power, and this is the most powerful education and training program ever offered to the next generation of dealers in our state,” said Bill Wolters, the TADA president. “No one does education better than NADA U, and access to all that information will give our dealers what they need to succeed for the long term.”
