TSTC and Tesla START have entered a partnership to offer an intensive 16-week electric vehicle service-training program designed to provide students with the skills necessary for a successful career with Tesla. During the course of the program, students will develop technical expertise through a blended approach of in-class theory, hands-on labs and self-paced learning. Relevant military service may be substituted for industry experience, and military veterans are encouraged to apply.
In addition to the electric vehicle service training, students will learn enhanced soft skills and team-based repair practices. Upon successful completion of the program, graduates have the necessary skills for job placement as Service Technicians at one of Tesla’s Service Centers across the country.
