Ryder Maintenance Training Programs

The Pathway Home Program is for soldiers that are completing their last 180 days in the military, transitioning out of the Army, returning to civilian life, and hoping to enter into the civilian workforce. The Diesel Technician Training Program (PH) provides an intensive 12-week, hands-on training experience that develops the participant’s understanding of Ryder’s safety and productivity requirements in several core technical areas. Pathway Home offers program graduates a path to the place they would like to call home by offering Technician job opportunities (most often as a T2) in Ryder locations across the country. The program provides online, classroom, and hands-on learning opportunities. PH Graduates will work toward and may graduate as qualified Technicians in Air Brakes, Hydraulic Brakes, Tire and Wheel, Air Conditioning, and Heavy Duty Electrical. They will not be PM Qualified. As with all other Technicians, the Service Manager will evaluate and determine when the PHG is PM Qualified. Ryder is registered with the VA as an OJT apprenticeship so our graduates are eligible for up to $3500 extra per month for MHA (Military Housing Allowance).
