General RV Center and Jones Technical Institute (J-Tech) joined forces to train 55 students and fill a critical need for RV technicians nationwide.
The program, which started in 2020 as J-Tech’s Marine & RV Technology, covers essential technician training, including gas and diesel prime movers, marine systems, heating and air-conditioning, sanitation and refrigeration.
J-Tech students get hands-on experience working on acquired and donated RVs. As part of the partnership, General RV provided industry-standard equipment and training materials, including refrigerators, air conditioners and axles.
Katie Boley, General RV Recruiting Operations Manager said: “It is incredibly important for the RV industry that we support those that are interested in an RV technician career. We are thankful there are schools focused on this industry that we can partner with and help educate people on the thriving careers available within the RV industry and with General RV.”
J-Tech provides interview preparation and career services to match students with tailored employment opportunities. General RV takes part in mock interviews with students and job fairs, enabling students feedback from industry professionals.
Eric Adams, J-Tech’s Director of Education said: “Our partnership with General RV represents a powerful collaboration aimed at preparing the next generation of RV technicians. “Together, we empower our graduates with the skills and experiences needed to excel in this dynamic field.”
