Career Growth

Rivian supports skills training and growth for people who already work at Rivian as well as new candidates. Rotational programs for workforce-ready roles allow individuals to gain hands-on experience at a Rivian site while working towards a degree or certification.

The Rivian Technical Trades Program provides an opportunity for individuals to grow their careers in the skilled trades. In partnership with local trades colleges, technicians learn the latest electric vehicle technologies inside the classroom and put those theories into practice with hands-on training in school as well as at a local Service Center.

Upon completion of the program, a Rivian technical certification is awarded to those students who successfully complete the didactic and hands-on curriculum, learning what it takes to service our electric adventure vehicles. Graduates of the Rivian Technical Trades Program are then eligible for Full Time Service Technician roles in one of our Rivian Service Centers throughout the country.

Rivian's Co-Op Programs offer two exciting paths for passionate engineering students.

If you thrive in building physical systems, join the 7- month Emerging Technology Co-Op and revolutionize EV manufacturing. If software is your domain, the 8-month Vancouver Software Co-Op lets you code the future of mobility.

Both programs provide in-depth projects, team collaboration, and the chance to make a true difference in the EV landscape.
