MTAM to Offer Connected Vehicle Course in Partnership with Mobile Comply

DETROIT - March 1, 2016 - PRLog -- To help make connected vehicle training available to a broader audience of those working in the automotive, mobile/wireless tech, and transportation infrastructure industries, the Mobile Technology Association of Michigan (MTAM), a non-profit trade association for mobile/wireless technologies and Mobile Comply, the global leader in connected and autonomous vehicle certification and training, have joined together to make Mobile Comply’s latest connected vehicle course available online through MTAM’s website at http://www.gomobilemichigan.org/events/mtam-events/Connected-Vehicle-Overview---Online-Training_ET323.html.

For a limited time only, from March 1^st thru March 31^st, MTAM will offer the ‘Connected Vehicle Management Overview’, a 2-hour on-line introduction to connected vehicle concepts that has been condensed from an intense 3-day training program developed by Mobile Comply, the Connected Vehicle Trade Association (CVTA), and SAE International. The Overview course is intended to benefit managers and participants interested in enhancing their professional credibility in the connected vehicle field with a foundational understanding of the concepts necessary to succeed. It will include exposure to the eco-system that is becoming part of the V2X and V2D revolution, along with a synopsis of in-vehicle technology, mobile devices and the infrastructure to support the connected vehicle industry. The cost to take the course is $499.

MTAM elected to make this course available due to the continuing challenges Michigan firms are having in finding qualified staff, said Linda Daichendt, Executive Director, Mobile Technology Association of Michigan. “We hear it from all of our members, but especially those working in the connected vehicle space – and given that this is Michigan, you can imagine that there are a lot of these firms here. Universities are having a hard time keeping up with the pace of technology advancements in this field, as a result, they’re not able to provide the necessary training to students. This becomes a serious issue for employers in dire need of employees with highly technical skill sets. Hence the need for specialized training that only Mobile Comply can offer. They have a world-class reputation, and they’re right here in our own backyard, so it makes it easy for us to work with them to offer programs – especially online programs – that can assist people around the world who are interested in gaining this knowledge because we know that Michigan firms in this field are not the only ones experiencing this issue.”

Anyone interested in taking the course should register at http://www.gomobilemichigan.org/events/mtam-events/Connec.... Those with questions can contact MTAM at info@GoMobileMichigan.org.
