What is BPET?
Boeing started a program called the Boeing Pre-Employment Training Program (BPET). It lets you skip the interview step when applying for certain manufacturing jobs at Boeing if you earn a certificate in one of the WATR Center's Speciality Certificate program:
How does the BPET process work and "no interviews"?
- Complete a certificate from one of the Specialty classes at the WATR Center (you must complete the full 12-week program)
- Boeing will contact the WATR Center to confirm completion
- Endorsement forms are given by Boeing to grads and are valid for two years from issue date
- Upload form and resume and apply for one or more of the BPET-eligible Boeing manufacturing jobs on the Boeing jobs site.
- Boeing will email you a Letter of Intent and begin the hiring process
- Pass Boeing’s Standard pre-hire Background check and Drug Screen
- You’ll get an official job offer once.
BPET requisitions are limited and will be filled on a first come, first served basis.
Who is eligible for BPET and what are the program jobs?
