The students from UTI are not only well trained with the base skills they need to be successful, but they are also motivated and excited to become automotive and diesel technicians,” said Gabrielli Trucks Sales Business Development Director, Andrew Kanas. “Our partnership with UTI brings great value to our dealerships and we are proud to be able to offer their students employment opportunities.
Bloomfield, NJ - Universal Technical Institute (UTI) Bloomfield and Gabrielli Trucks Sales recently partnered to provide employment opportunities with Gabrielli for auto and diesel students.
UTI’s early employment program is open to all students enrolled in an automotive or diesel program. Participating employers may offer students they hire 20 – 30 hours of paid hands-on working experience with other technicians at their facilities, and consideration for full-time employment upon graduation. Some employers, including Gabrielli Trucks Sales, even offer reimbursement for education-related expenses.[1]
Gabrielli Truck Sales has 19 new truck sales and services centers all over the tri-state area as well as several leasing and rental locations with a fleet of approximately 1,300 vehicles supported by 750+ employees and 325+ service stalls. Since the partnership began early this year, 20 UTI students have accepted employment opportunities across all 19 of Gabrielli’s locations with five students qualifying for the Early Employment program. These five students qualified for a $20,000 Tuition Reimbursement Incentive Program (TRIP) package along with very competitive local wages.1, [2]
“UTI is thrilled to have Gabrielli as our partner to provide our students with excellent job opportunities in the field,” said UTI Bloomfield President, Shawn Alexander. “Here at UTI, we strive to help every student find employment after graduation and it is because of the work of our great employer partners that we have such great success. We are excited that we have great employer partners, like Gabrielli, who are providing opportunities while students are completing their training.”
Gabrielli Truck Sales is also committed to the continued growth of the UTI students they employ by guaranteeing original equipment manufacturer (OEM) training and providing company-specific onboarding with a mentor or service manager. This provides the graduates they hire with the skills they need to have a long and great career with them, in the field.
“The students from UTI are not only well trained with the base skills they need to be successful, but they are also motivated and excited to become automotive and diesel technicians,” said Gabrielli Trucks Sales Business Development Director, Andrew Kanas. “Our partnership with UTI brings great value to our dealerships and we are proud to be able to offer their students employment opportunities.”
“My training at UTI gave me the technical knowledge I have needed to begin my career in the automotive industry,” said James Halligan, a 2022 UTI graduate who is now a full-time employee at Gabrielli Truck Sales in Rockaway, NJ. “Now, working at Gabrielli, I am receiving daily hands-on training from my colleagues and mentors, and have even had the opportunity to learn new technologies.”
Industry demand remains strong for trained automotive and diesel technicians. The U.S. Department of Labor projects a combined annual average of 97,000 job openings nationwide in the automotive and diesel repair industries.[3] For more information or to enroll in a UTI program, please visit www.uti.edu.
