The RV Technical Institute (RVTI) will participate in the 2025 NTP-STAG Expo, scheduled for January 20-21 at the Gaylord Rockies Resort in Aurora, Colorado. This annual industry-only distributor event offers attendees exclusive access to product showcases, educational seminars, and networking opportunities.
The institute will be present on January 21 to engage with potential Location Subscribers and Authorized Learning Partners while promoting its mission to train the next generation of RV technicians.
Attendees at the expo will include representatives from the RV industry, manufacturers, and educators. RVTI plans to utilize this platform to foster connections and raise awareness about its training programs. The event also offers attendees access to show-only promotions and events designed to encourage collaboration within the RV industry.
In a unique collaboration, RVTI will attend the Expo in partnership with Littleton Public Schools. The Colorado-based school district, invited by NTP-STAG, will bring 42 high school students and four chaperones to the event.
The partnership with Littleton Public Schools reflects the institute’s broader goal of expanding its training programs within educational settings. By involving students in the Expo, the institute aims to demonstrate how its curriculum can be integrated into school programs, providing hands-on learning opportunities for those interested in pursuing careers as RV technicians.
The collaboration between the RV Technical Institute and Littleton Public Schools began in 2024 when the Institute’s Level 1 curriculum was incorporated into the district’s EPIC Campus.
During its inaugural year, the EPIC program trained eight junior and senior students from Littleton Public Schools.
“One way we’re trying to increase the number of service techs is through reaching younger generations who may be interested in this field,” Justin Rickett, senior manager of recruitment for RVTI, said in a News and Insights report of RVIA on January 16.
“Incorporating our training program into high schools’ curriculums is a great way for students to learn about the RV technician career path and possibly even become a certified Level 1 technician prior to graduation,” Rickett added.
Rickett expressed gratitude to NTP-STAG and others who contributed to the partnership’s success. “The RV Technical Institute would like to thank NTP-STAG for allowing us to attend in partnership with Littleton Public Schools. The entire team over at NTP-STAG is very welcoming and great to work alongside,” he said.
He also credited Whitney Holtz, president of Windish RV Center, for facilitating the connection between Littleton Public Schools and the institute.
