Liebherr USA launches new partnership with ATI
Liebherr USA, Co., Newport News, Va., launched a new partnership with the local (Virginia Beach, Va.) Advanced Technology Institute (ATI) in a new co-op training program for service technicians.
In addition to annually hosting up to six students who attend ATI’s Heavy Vehicle Technology program, Liebherr is sponsoring the hydraulics portion of the training and supplying an L 526 wheel loader for hands-on experience in these classes.
The first group of students entered the program in January 2021. While attending the training, they became part-time Liebherr employees, working in the earthmoving and mobile cranes divisions’ repair shops, to get additional hands-on training and real-world experience on the subjects covered in the classroom.
Upon completion of the Co-op program,
ATI students can become Liebherr-certified. Eligible new hires who accept full-time employment also receive a signing bonus.
“This partnership not only helps to build a pipeline of future talent, but it also exposes all of ATI’s students to the Liebherr brand, which allows us to build a future workforce of Liebherr employees,” said Vicki Wishon, manager, Human Resources.
