The first program with this partnership is a new electric vehicle production technical certificate of credit (EVP1) starting in Fall 2023 at Savannah Technical College. Those that complete the program will be preferred for employment with HMGMA.
HMGMA is excited to work with Savannah Tech now and for many years to come. They are a very important partner.

EVP1 was designed at the request of Hyundai to prepare students for entry level employment in the electric vehicle production industry. Training emphasis will be placed on safe and effective automotive shop operations, automotive electrical principles, and operation and service of electric and hybrid vehicles. Graduates will have the skill set to work in sub-assembly shops, building components. They could also work on the floor of production facilities to put the sub-assembly together to manufacture electric vehicles.
This eight-hour TCC includes three courses: Automotive Technology Introduction; Automotive Electrical Principles; and Introduction to EV/Hybrid Vehicles and Safety Protocols. The College plans to offer this training at all campuses starting Fall 2023 and will be available each mini-mester. Prospective students must have a high school diploma or equivalency (GED).
