Learn more about BPET and how it can jumpstart your aerospace manufacturing career.
What is BPET?
The Boeing Pre-Employment Training Program (BPET) will allow students from pre-certified academic manufacturing programs, such as the Washington Aerospace Training & Research (WATR) Center to bypass the interview process when applying for specific manufacturing jobs at Boeing.
How does the BPET process work and "no interviews"?
After applying for one or more of the Boeing manufacturing jobs noted below, students from a BPET-certified program will receive a “Letter of Intent” and begin the offer process. Applicants will not receive an official offer until they are 18 years of age, and must still pass standard Boeing pre-hire contingencies before receiving a start date.
To be able to bypass the interview process, students from BPET-certified academic programs should apply for job role(s) that align with their program. Students are always able to apply for other Boeing job roles, but will need to go through the standard hiring process for those positions.
