Congratulations class of 2025! You’re invited to apply to the Volvo Accelerator program.
As you start thinking about life after high school, we’re excited to share what a career at Volvo Cars could look like by inviting you to apply to the Volvo Accelerator Program.
The Volvo Accelerator Program invites high school students to explore career opportunities at Volvo Cars. The six-month program includes four Saturday training sessions and a pre-hire interview. Students will meet once a month from 9:00 am – 1:00 pm, gaining hands-on experience by touring the plant, meeting the team, and learning how cars are made. Upon successful completion, students who attend all sessions, actively participate, and pass the pre-hire interview will be eligible for a full-time position at Volvo Cars' Ridgeville plant.
Want to Learn More?
You and your parents are invited to an information session to learn about the Volvo Accelerator program and talk with Volvo Team Members on Thursday, January 16 at 6:00 pm in the Woodland High School cafeteria.
