One of the biggest challenges facing the automotive industry is the need for more technicians. At
Volvo, the growth of our car park, coupled with one of the longest tenured technician populations in
the industry, means we need a strong plan for recruiting and retaining technicians. At the same time,
we know the cost of tools is a barrier for new technicians entering the workforce. Most already have
enough student debt to make purchasing tools a significant obstacle.
That’s why we are continuing to offer the Volvo Technician Tool Program (VTTP). VTTP includes a
complete set of tools and VSS-approved cabinet. The cost of the kit is $5,358.07 and Volvo will pay
half, so your investment is only $2,679.03. Reducing or eliminating the cost of tools will provide
Volvo a competitive advantage, not only when recruiting new technicians, but also in retaining
existing ones.
The Volvo Technician Tool Program is one easy way to help recruit the best technicians in the
business. We need to think differently, and continue to work together to make Volvo the “Brand of
Choice” for automotive technicians.
