Toyota program (in Texas): College degree, no debt, and a job

A Toyota program to train high-school graduates as they attend college has attracted the attention of other companies in Texas.

Businesses and politicians in other states, too, have caught on to the approach that combines skilled trades training with a college degree.

The Toyota Advanced Manufacturing Technician Program is a partnership between Toyota and local colleges where students earn an associate’s degree while working, according to News 4 San Antonio. Students work three days a week, then attend class two days a week. Toyota pays “a living wage,” students earn a degree without accumulating debt, and Toyota can hire students full-time after the program.
