The RV Technical Institute (RVTI) is accepting applications for the Kevin Phillips Scholarship for RV Technical Institute’s Level 1 and Level 2 training and certification.
The scholarship covers the cost of RV technician training for those new to the RV industry, including new high school graduates, people leaving the military, or former college attendees.
“The Kevin Phillips Scholarship is a great opportunity to receive gold standard technician training and certification at no cost,” RVTI Executive Director Curt Hemmeler said. “As we continue our year of recruitment, we hope to engage as many interested individuals as possible in the RV technician career path. We are looking to bring in new people to the RV industry, especially those who are interested in an alternative to traditional higher education.”
While training current RV technicians is an RVTI focus, Hemmeler said the team is hyper-focused on recruiting new people into the RV technician field.
“For people just entering the workforce or leaving the military, training costs are just another hurdle to overcome,” Hemmeler said. “Through this scholarship, financial assistance will not only help new technicians, but will also recruit more RV technicians, a key resource that is severely lacking for the ongoing success of the RV industry, and a great way to honor Kevin’s legacy to the RV industry.”
The scholarship was created to honor Phillips, who served on RVIA’s Board of Directors from 2009 to 2018, including Executive Committee roles as secretary and treasurer. RVIA said Phillips was a true advocate for continual learning and saw vocational training as an alternative to the idea that everyone needs to go to college.
