Diesel Engine Apprenticeship Program

The Ring Power Corporation Apprenticeship Program is a 36-month, “earn while you learn” opportunity designed to launch your career as a service technician. Through a blend of hands-on experience, mentorship, e-learning, and instructor-led training, you’ll gain the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in the field.

Apprentices receive a dedicated toolbox and earn credits toward tool purchases throughout the program—redeemable upon completion. Along the way, you’ll build a strong foundation in safety and technical skills while working side-by-side with experienced mentors.

In addition, Ring Power has partnered with Santa Fe College to create a clear pathway to higher education. Graduates of the state-registered apprenticeship program can earn 27 college credit hours toward an Associate of Science degree—nearly half the credits needed to graduate—giving you a strong head start on both your career and your education.

Graduates of the program advance to Entry-Level II Technician roles within their assigned specialties, ready to contribute from day one.
