Submissions for next semester are open now!

Training the Trade.

Our Youth Registered Apprenticeship Program is registered with the Virginia Department of Labor and Industry.

Our Youth Apprenticeship allows high school students interested in a career in automotive repair to learn on the job. Students 17+ years of age who are enrolled in their school’s automotive technology program can work at Virginia Tire & Auto to receive work-based learning that counts towards their graduation requirements. The apprenticeship integrates school-based and work-based learning to expose students to all aspects of auto care and provides opportunities to work with skilled technicians and apply what is learned in school in a real-world, hands-on setting.

Tune Up Your Skills.

When our team members improve themselves, our company’s health and culture improve as well. So, we encourage learning to enhance current roles through our Education Assistance Program. Associates who have been with Virginia Tire & Auto for more than a year are eligible to receive reimbursement of up to $3,000 per year for job-related courses (such as business, accounting, management classes for managers), degree programs and tests, including ASE certifications and state inspection licensure.
