Sweet Grass Technical Institute is proud to partner with the Montana Department of Labor & Industry to launch a brand-new Automotive Mechanic Pre-Apprenticeship for high school juniors and seniors within the Sweet Grass and Stillwater area.
Grounded in our mission — to teach students important life skills they can use for a
lifetime, and to inspire those who want to go further in the automotive industry — this program provides students with hands-on training, real world experience, and an early pathway into Montana’s automotive workforce.
Pre-apprenticeships offer powerful benefits, including:
• Building foundational technical skills before entering a full apprenticeship
• Strengthening problem solving, teamwork, and professional habits essential for
long term success
• Helping students explore career interests in a low risk, supportive environment
• Improving readiness for registered apprenticeships and future employment
• Connecting students with industry mentors and high-quality training opportunities
By combining classroom learning with industry backed skills, we’re helping young people explore their futures and build clear pathways to high quality apprenticeships after graduation.
We’re thrilled to support Montana’s next generation of technicians and strengthen our workforce — one student at a time.
