Richie Bello, founder and automotive influencer started this program as it supported both the automotive industry and our veterans. Bello spent the last three years developing his eLearning platform and in school training program and has more than nine thousand dealers across the country waiting for certified vets. "Our industry needs A Few Good men and women. We believe that the military prepared a great deal of our vets for process and commitment. That's so very important to our industry." Bello continued: "The industry wants to constantly improve its reputation and standards. With the certified veterans we place in their dealerships, they will be assured that they are trained and ready to deliver."
Bello's program not only trains the veterans of any arm of the military that is ready and able, but has reached out to dealers across the country to guarantee employment for veterans who have an 85% or better on their test scores. And if they have not passed, Bello will allow them to repeat the course of study selected until they pass at no additional cost. And Bello did not stop there. The program is paid over one year by both the veteran and the dealership at less than $10 a day. The automotive education financing is a feat in itself, as the dealer will pay for half of the fee for certification starting in the 7 month of employment. The fee is extremely low for the programs and with monthly financing 90 days after certification, the veterans will have a chance on keeping the cost at a minimum while they earn.
Career Night dates for September are Wednesday, September 12, which will be held in Ronkonkoma, Long Island; and Thursday September 27th, which will be held in Phoenix Arizona.
