Automotive Manufacturing Certificate Program.
The Automotive Manufacturing Certificate Program is a one-year long program that allows you to attend courses at a local partner college while working part-time within different technologies at BMW Manufacturing and receiving BMW-specific trainings.
Scholarship Programs.
The BMW Scholars Program, started in 2011, is an apprenticeship for students enrolled in two-year career paths related to manufacturing technology. The program offers the workplace benefits of a traditional apprentice program found in Germany with the additional advantage of tuition assistance.
BMW partners with four area technical colleges: Spartanburg Community College, Greenville Technical College, Tri-County Technical College and Piedmont Technical College. Students attend class full-time and work part-time at BMW Manufacturing. So far, more than 330 Scholars have graduated from the program in the areas of Automotive Technology, Equipment Services (ESA), Production, Logistics/Supply Chain Management and Computer Technology.
In 2021, BMW added two additional programs under the Scholars umbrella – BMW Fast Track and BMW Rising Scholars (for high school seniors).
