The RV Technical Institute (RVTI) reached thousands of high school students during the 97th Annual Future Farmers of America (FFA) Convention, which ran Oct. 23-26.
More than 75,000 students, school administrators and recruiters attended the event. Attendees traveled to Indianapolis, Indiana, from all 50 U.S. states and Puerto Rico.
The FFA’s mission is to prepare students for leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education. The organization develops its members’ potential and assists them in discovering their talents through hands-on experiences, according to FFA’s website.
RVTI Account Specialist Halle Howard attended the event. She said the convention was a great opportunity to connect with and educate students on RV service technician opportunities.
“Many of these students are already very technically skilled, and some even mentioned they help work on their family RV as a hobby,” she said, “so it is a great event for us to promote our program and hopefully gain some future skilled technicians.”
Walnut Ridge RV of New Castle, Indiana, provided the RV, which was displayed during the convention. Walnut Ridge is an RVTI training partner.
