Peterbilt recently opened the fifth Peterbilt Technician Institute campus in Rancho Cucamonga, California.
โThe PTI program helps meet the Peterbilt dealer networkโs growing demand for entry-level qualified diesel technicians,โ said Brian Brooks, program manager for the Peterbilt Technician Institute. โThe unique value proposition for graduates of PTI is finding its graduates jobs that often turn into long-term careers.โ
Since launching in 2013, the program has graduated more than 600 factory-certified technicians and has a 95% placement rate at a Peterbilt service location.
โThe 50% growth of the Peterbilt dealer network this decade ensures that there are plenty of long-term career opportunities with our dealers, many of which begin as a diesel technician,โ said Curtis Crisp, โPeterbiltโs technician program manager. โThrough the Peterbilt Technician Institute, Peterbilt is educating the next generation of diesel technicians to deliver exceptional service and drive uptime for our customers.โ
