Liebherr USA Co. has launched a new partnership with Virginia Beach, Va.-based Advanced Technology Institute (ATI). The manufacturer will host up to six students each year who are attending ATI in the Heavy Vehicle Technology program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ATI\u2019s Heavy Vehicle Technology program offers diesel repair training in a hands-on shop environment where students have the opportunity to work on manual and automatic engines ranging from 400 to 12,000 lb., developing skills that could lead to a rewarding career as a heavy equipment or diesel mechanic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liebherr USA is sponsoring the hydraulics program at ATI and has made an L 526 wheel loader available for training students in ATI\u2019s hydraulics classes. This partnership allows ATI students to become Liebherr certified upon program completion. Once students have finished the co-op program, Liebherr is offering a signing bonus of 50% of tuition charges for eligible new hires who are offered and accept full-time employment with the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first group of students entered the program in January 2021. While in the co-op program, they are part-time Liebherr employees, working in the earthmoving and mobile cranes divisions repair shops in Newport News, Va., getting hands-on training and experience on the subjects they\u2019re learning in the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis partnership not only helps to build a pipeline of future talent, it exposes all of ATI\u2019s students to the Liebherr brand, which allows us to build a future workforce of Liebherr employees,\u201d said Vicki Wishon, Liebherr USA human resources manager.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
