Automotive Technician Apprenticeship for Military Veterans - Island Kia

Elite

Automotive Service Technician

Island Kia in Staten Island, NY, is seeking Military Veterans with mechanical experience who are interested in beginning a rewarding career as an Automotive Service Technician.

This position is part of the Kia Veterans Technician Apprenticeship Program (VTAP), a structured apprenticeship program created by Kia America to help Military Veterans transition into the automotive industry. Through this program, participants gain hands-on dealership experience while completing a one-year competency-based apprenticeship that leads to Kia Service Technician certification.

VTAP provides Veterans the opportunity to work full-time at a participating Kia dealership while receiving the training, tools, and support needed to develop into highly skilled automotive technicians. The program is GI Bill approved, allowing eligible Veterans to receive Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) during their apprenticeship.

As an Automotive Technician Apprentice, you will work alongside experienced technicians and service professionals while developing the technical knowledge and practical skills necessary to diagnose, service, and repair Kia vehicles.

Job Responsibilities

  • Diagnose, maintain, and repair Kia vehicles, including engines, transmissions, steering, suspension, brakes, HVAC, and electrical systems
  • Perform vehicle inspections, diagnostics, and mechanical repairs using Kia diagnostic procedures and equipment
  • Complete repair orders and warranty documentation according to Kia and dealership policies
  • Test drive vehicles and verify repair quality using appropriate diagnostic tools and equipment
  • Communicate effectively with service advisors and shop foremen to ensure a positive customer experience
  • Maintain a safe, organized, and efficient work environment while following dealership safety procedures
