To address the tech shortage, schools, manufacturers, and the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence—an organization responsible for certifying technicians in vehicle diagnosis and repair skills and for accrediting automotive-education programs—have developed partnerships to encourage and help potential technicians to join the industry. The Lincoln Technical Institute—a national vocational school offering programs in automotive technology, HVAC repair, applied health sciences, and other hands-on disciplines—has linked up with Audi, BMW, and Fiat Chrysler. Robert Paganini, president of LTI’s Mahwah, New Jersey, campus, says that the majority of students who participated in its prestigious Audi apprenticeship, which adds an extra two months onto a 13-month program, found jobs within the VW Group after graduation. But participation in a manufacturer-specific program isn’t required for job placement.
