Apprenticeship Program
Providing careers, not just jobs.
A life-changing opportunity
The first Industrial Manufacturing Technician (IMT) registered apprenticeship program in California and the first electric bus manufacturing apprenticeship program in the country.
RIDE partnered with SMART Local 105 and the Antelope Valley Community College (AVC) to make this dream a reality.
Pre-Apprenticeship Program
The pre-apprenticeship is an eight-week, 24- to 30-hour per week commitment. It includes 32-hour, hands-on hard skills practicum at the BYD plant, as well as classroom instruction, a worker panel discussion and a BYD facility tour. Participants gain basic competencies in electric bus manufacturing tools and procedures, safety and professionalism.
Community Benefits Agreement
In partnership with SMART Local 105 and Jobs to Move America (JMA), RIDE is creating opportunities in the manufacturing industry for underrepresented and underserved populations.
RIDE has committed to recruit and hire workers from groups facing employment barriers, including veterans, returning citizens, women and people of color.
