Toyota Motor North America’s Technician Training & Education Network (T-TEN for short) is ‘looking for a few good techs.’ According to a statement from the carmaker, the new Technical Education College Support (TECS) program will help fill the pipeline for certified technicians with automotive diagnosis and repair education.
“Trained auto technicians are in great demand and are the key to any successful dealership,” said Joseph Myers, technician development manager for the T-TEN program at Toyota Motor North America. “We are grateful for the opportunity to expand the program’s reach to eight new schools and organizations that not only fulfills our needs, but also provides stable jobs and career security that aims to give vehicle owners the most satisfying service experience possible.”
The T-TEN program offers students an opportunity to earn associate degrees, National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence certifications, and Toyota and Lexus technician training certifications.
Once participants complete the program, they have the ability to apply for service technician positions at Toyota or Lexus dealerships, or any automotive service operation, including independent service and repair shops.
Since its inception in 1986, the T-TEN program has graduated nearly 12,000 students.
Through its Military Technician Education Network (M-TEN) in partnership with Hiring Our Heroes and the Department of Labor, active duty service members and veterans can participate in an intensive 12-week automotive technician training program and earn credits towards becoming a certified technician.
