Meet Katelin Richardson, The RV Technical Institute’s New Account Specialist

The mission of the RV Technical Institute is to provide world-class training for RV maintenance and repair that will increase the RV industry’s number of trained RV technicians available to service the millions of RVs on the road. 

The RV Technical Institute seeks to improve the RV consumer experience, reduce repair event cycle times, and reduce the RV industry's shortage of trained technicians. 

Educational roles are a crucial component of the RV Technical Institute’s continued success and its training program. With that in mind, the Institute recently welcomed to the team their new Account Specialist, Katelin Richardson. 

“I’ll be working with my fellow Institute recruitment team members to help educate others on the RV technician career path,” Katelin says. “I’ll help interested individuals get started in the RV industry as technicians. I’ll also be working with our Authorized Learning Partners to make sure they have all the resources necessary to successfully implement our training and certification career paths within their organizations.”

Katelin joins the RV Technical Institute with a background in customer-facing roles. “I’ve worked in customer service my whole career,” Katelin says. “My most recent role was working for a staffing agency. I was a personnel supervisor there and helped people find jobs.”

In her new role, she is looking forward to helping interested individuals start a career in the RV industry. “I’m excited to meet with people— whether it be at high schools, technical schools, or the general public— and educate them on this program. It’s a great opportunity to start a rewarding career.”

Katelin adds that she is enjoying being a part of the Institute team’s ongoing efforts. “I’m super excited about this role. Since this is a fairly new program there are still endless opportunities for our team to get out there and tell people what we’re offering— and at an affordable price. This is a win all the way around because people can participate in inexpensive training for a short period of time and gain the tools to make a career out of this.”

When considering how the RV industry is meaningful to her own life, Katelin says: “This is an industry that’s built around fun! When people get in an RV, they know they’re on vacation. Being a part of something that brings so much joy to people’s lives is very rewarding. This is a career you can enjoy for the rest of your life.”
