New RPM Apprentice Opportunities
The collector vehicle restoration industry faces a serious challenge: a shortage of skilled professionals. With fewer training programs available, the rising cost of education, and a growing gap between students and entry-level workers, the future of automotive restoration is at risk. That’s where the RPM Apprenticeship Program comes in.
Our program transforms world-class restoration shops into hands-on classrooms where aspiring technicians can earn while they learn. Through paid apprenticeships, students gain valuable skills under the guidance of industry experts. By working alongside seasoned professionals, apprentices develop the intricate craftsmanship necessary to restore and preserve classic cars, trucks, motorcycles, and other collector vehicles. This not only benefits students but also strengthens the future of the industry by ensuring that time-honored restoration skills are passed down. If you are interested in becoming a vehicle restoration apprentice, be sure to fill out the form on our apprentice page and we will be in touch to provide more information.
GET YOUR SHOP INVOLVED
To continue expanding this vital program, we need more host shops across the country. If you own, manage, or operate a restoration facility and are passionate about training the next generation of restoration specialists, we’d love to hear from you! By becoming an RPM apprenticeship host, you’ll gain a motivated worker who is eager to learn while receiving financial support through our program.
Interested? Email us at info@rpm.foundation to learn more about our requirements and how your shop can participate. Your commitment to mentorship can make a lasting impact, ensuring that collector vehicle restoration remains a thriving and respected trade for generations to come.
