Technician Apprenticeship program
About The Position
Stocker Automotive's Technician Apprenticeship program is looking to expand. As a Technician Apprentice, you will start out learning and doing the basics, beginning in the express lube bay. You will learn hands-on changing engine oil, rotating tires, and completing Multi-point Vehicle Inspections. During this time, you will also be completing manufacturer fundamental web-based training that will build the foundation for a successful technician career. The courses in fundamentals will teach you how to use Service Information to diagnose and repair vehicles, follow a Strategy-Based Diagnostic System, document diagnostics and repairs on a repair order, understand specific safety requirements when working on vehicles, and grasp basic electrical principles, among other topics. All while you get paid! After completing the Fundamentals, you will start to dive deeper into each subsystem of a vehicle and gain more specialized knowledge of braking, steering and suspension, electrical, engines, transmissions, and many other systems. You will be paid to learn and receive pay raises as you complete certifications. During the second phase, you will continue to work in the express bay but will also gain more in-depth experience by assisting senior-level technicians in your downtime. This hands-on training will help prepare you to take and pass both your Pennsylvania State Inspection and Emissions license, allowing you to advance further. During this phase, you will continue to complete manufacturer web-based training, as well as start to attend both virtual classroom training and hands-on manufacturer training. As you transition into the third phase, you will start to work daily one-on-one with a senior technician and transition out of the express lube bays. At this time, you will be provided a starter set of tools valued at $10,000.00, which will become your personal property upon completion of the apprenticeship program. The mentoring technician will provide you with added training and knowledge on how to become a productive technician. Once you have demonstrated your ability to work independently, you will move to work on your own, where your mentor will oversee and assist only as needed. Upon completion of this program, you will have the training and ability to work unassisted on customer vehicles, performing a multitude of diagnostics and repairs.
