The RV Technical Institute recently partnered with representatives of the Labs for Industry Transformation (LIFT) Network to host a small gathering of RV Employers to discuss how registered apprenticeship programs could be used to address workforce shortages through enhances training. During the meeting, these programs were discussed in depth and a recently registered USDOL program for the RV Service Technician occupation was highlighted.
With overwhelmingly positive response from the initial meeting, the RV Technical Institute and LIFT are hosting a second meeting for any additional RV companies looking to find out how registered apprenticeship programs can help RV manufacturers and suppliers address workforce shortages.

“The RV Technical Institute recently worked with the Northern Indiana Workforce Board to design and register an apprenticeship program with the U.S. Department of Labor. The program enables RVTI to expand our training efforts to upskill workers within RV OEM firms, as the need for skilled service technicians increases as overall production outputs continue to hit record levels,” shared RV Technical Institute Executive Director Curtis Hemmeler. “Our industry has called for robust training offerings and RVTI is glad to provide our training as one solution to the talent needs. We are excited that the LIFT Network will also be identifying additional postsecondary training partners and collaborations to meet further needs of training for areas such as Industrial Maintenance, CNC Machining, and more as our industry continues to advance towards further innovative production practices.”
Representatives of the LIFT Network, the Northern Indiana Workforce Board and RVTI are currently working with companies to customize training programs for RV Service Technicians, Industrial Maintenance Mechanics/Technicians and more. Currently, companies are eligible to apply for training subsidies of up to $5,000 per apprentice within LIFT Network-approved training programs.
