Porsche Technology Apprenticeship Program
Despite record unemployment, 100% of the most recent graduates of the Porsche Technology Apprenticeship Program (PTAP), offered in partnership with Universal Technical Institute, have gone immediately to work.
Top students enrolled in UTI’s Automotive Technology Program across 11 campuses are recruited for PTAP. The PTAP program is offered in a blended format, combining online education with hands-on training in CDC-compliant labs in Atlanta, Ga.; Easton, Pa.; and Eastvale, Calif. Porsche supports the program, allowing students to receive training on the latest vehicles and technologies. Tuition and housing costs are covered by Porsche, and the company arranges local part-time employment for students while they are in the 23-week program. Porsche dealerships nationwide then offer employment to most students upon graduation.
