Start a new career Through the Ruan Technician Apprenticeship Program

Ruan is always looking for individuals who want a long-term career, like to work with their hands, and solve problems. That's why the Ruan Technician Apprenticeship Program is available to individuals without prior technician training who want to learn from veteran diesel mechanics and become professional technicians. This program allows apprentices the opportunity to learn while working on the best late-model equipment in the trucking industry. Ruan provides apprentices with Snap-on tools that they can use while learning their new skills, and these tools will be given to the apprentices upon graduation from the three-year paid and structured apprenticeship program. 

The three-year Ruan Technician Apprenticeship Program is broken down into 12 quarters. At the completion of each quarter, the apprentice must successfully complete a structured learning assessment for that quarter and demonstrate that his or her skills are improving. Upon successful completion of the three-year apprenticeship, the tools will become the property of the apprentice, and he or she will be promoted to the level of Technician II. Ruan is excited to usher in the next generation of technicians, and we are willing to make a huge investment to do so.
