Ivy Tech to offer diesel tech certificate

INDIANAPOLIS — Ivy Tech Community College, in partnership with IndyGo and the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1070, announced they are providing IndyGo diesel apprentices with a pathway to a technical certificate from Ivy Tech in Diesel Technology.

By using a prior learning assessment, the agreement allows an IndyGo Apprenticeship Program graduate who successfully completes the Bus Maintenance Technician Apprenticeship Program to receive up to 24 credits after completing 16 credit hours at Ivy Tech that will go toward a Technical Certification in Diesel Technology.

While the program mimics other apprenticeship programs offered at Ivy Tech, this program is the first of its kind within the transportation/logistics sector, specifically diesel technology.

Ivy Tech and IndyGo will promote the program to diesel apprentices this summer and expect students to enroll into the program as early as this fall.
