Kia VTAP is proud to share a national spotlight moment. Our National Recruiting Operations Manager, Kevin Todd, and James Rossiter, 2024 Lombard Technical Training Center Student of the Year and 2024 Kia VTAP Technician of the Year, were in Florida this weekend filming for an upcoming segment of All Access with Andy Garcia. Their interview highlights how VTAP is helping U.S. Veterans build rewarding careers in the automotive industry. We’re excited to see their story and the story of VTAP shared on such a large stage. Stay tuned. #KiaVTAP #VeteranHired #AllAccessWithAndyGarcia #MilitaryTransition #AutomotiveIndustry #WorkforceDevelopment #MetroKiaOfMadison #ComingSoon

This milestone moment is one we’re incredibly proud of welcoming our 300th hire into the KIA VTAP family. A U.S. Army Veteran with 8+ years of experience maintaining military vehicles under pressure, he has since sharpened his skills in civilian auto body repair and is pursuing a Mechanical Technology Certificate to deepen his mechanical expertise. From field diagnostics during missions to streamlining repair workflows in the shop, he’s shown consistent leadership, technical excellence, and a commitment to safety and quality. With a strong foundation in diesel engines, hydraulic systems, electrical repairs, and team mentorship, he's well-positioned to thrive in the automotive industry. We're proud to have him representing the caliber and commitment of our Veteran Technicians. Here's to #300 and many more to come. #KiaVTAP #300thHire #VeteranTechnician #ArmyVeteran #FromServiceToShop #ERSElite #VeteransInAutomotive #TechSpotlight
