Technicians work with advanced vehicle data and digital solutions to diagnose trucks and buses.

Job Security
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, overall employment of heavy vehicle and mobile equipment service technicians is projected to grow 4 percent through 2028. As the stock of heavy vehicles and mobile equipment continues to increase, more service technicians will be needed to maintain them.

Pay & Benefits
It’s simple: The higher the demand, the higher the pay. Technicians earn a healthy wage right off the bat.

• On average, recent tech school graduates can earn $20/hour.
• Technical school students carry much less debt compared to students at a four-year college.
• Tuition could be paid for (partially or in whole) by the dealership if the student commits to working there.
• Dealerships may also provide tool purchase assistance (starting tool sets can cost $6,000).

Training
Technical training is offered in schools across the country:

• A one-year program results in a training certificate.
• A two-year program results in an associate’s degree.

As battery-electric vehicles continue to hit the road, the need for EV-certified technicians is rising. In response, International has set up partnerships to promote EV safety awareness and training.

Grow your skills
Many dealers offer programs that allow technicians to work and go to school at the same time, which means valuable, real-world experience that going to school alone cannot provide.

For more information about the program please contact your local dealership.
