VW Academy hosting open house

Volkswagen Chattanooga’s on-site training facility, the Volkswagen Academy, will host an open house next week, Monday through Friday, from noon to 4 p.m. each day.

The open house will offer prospective students and their families the opportunity to experience the training activities associated with the Volkswagen apprenticeship program curriculum.

“We take pride in offering a state-of-the-art facility where our Volkswagen apprentices can learn and hone their skills,” said Ilker Subasi, the plant’s manager of apprenticeship programs. “We have found that combining classroom teaching with on-the-job training offers a valuable comprehensive learning experience.”

The apprenticeship program is based on a dual education system that combines vocational classroom education and paid on-the-job training. Upon completion, graduates are extended a conditional job offer to step directly into a position at the plant.
