RVTI Drives Interest in RV Technician Careers at National FFA Convention

The RV Technical Institute (RVTI) ramped up its national technician recruitment campaign by participating in the 97th Annual Future Farmers of America (FFA) Convention in Indianapolis, held from October 23 to October 26.

With nearly 75,000 attendees from across the country, including students, school administrators, and recruiters, the event served as a platform for the institute to connect with young individuals potentially interested in careers as RV service technicians. The annual convention aims to provide students with an environment to learn about diverse career options, engage in networking opportunities, and hone their skill sets through hands-on activities and demonstrations.

At the convention, visitors from all 50 states and Puerto Rico stopped by the RVTI’s booth, where they learned about the institute’s training programs and career pathways in RV maintenance and repair. The exhibit aimed to spark interest in students already inclined toward technical skills.

According to a News and Insights report of RVIA, Halle Howard, an account specialist with the RVTI, expressed enthusiasm about the event’s success in attracting engaged students. “The Future Farmers of America Convention is an incredible event and a great opportunity for us to connect with interested high school students and educate them on RV service technician opportunities,” Howard said. 

“Many of these students are already very technically skilled, and some even mentioned they help work on their family RV as a hobby, so it is a great event for us to promote our program and hopefully gain some future skilled technicians,” Howard explained.
