MOPAR® CAP Automotive: What is it?

The MOPAR® Career Automotive Program, or MOPAR® CAP, is a special technician training program created by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA). MOPAR® CAP courses are geared toward getting prospective technicians prepared and ready to work in Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, or FIAT dealership service centers, anywhere in the US.

Leading-Edge Technology & Equipment

Training schools that participate in MOPAR® CAP LOCAL benefit by being able to provide FCA’s latest diagnostic technologies and service equipment in their student workshops. This way, students have the opportunity to learn and perform manufacturer-specific repair procedures on the same equipment utilized in FCA shops.

Internship Work Experience

In addition to practicing on the tech and tools that professional technicians in FCA dealerships use every day, MOPAR® CAP LOCAL students also have the opportunity to further develop their skills and get acquainted with the daily shop environment through paid internship opportunities with a Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, or FIAT dealership nearby.

This invaluable experience cements students’ understanding of each procedure, first applying the lessons they’ve learned in their school’s workshop and then testing their knowledge once more in a live shop.

MOPAR® CAP LOCAL Curriculum

During training hours, MOPAR® CAP LOCAL students focus on a variety of topics as they relate to the maintenance and repair of popular FCA vehicles like the Jeep Cherokee, Ram 1500, and FIAT 500, including:

  • Engines
  • Fuel systems
  • Fundamentals of welding
  • Brake systems
  • Suspension, steering, and alignment

Sponsorship and Potential Employment

After graduating from post-secondary training school and MOPAR® CAP LOCAL, participating students have already developed a meaningful connection with a dealership in the area in need of entry-level automotive technicians.
