Skills & Training
The 2025 program will be broken down into 3 parts. All participants start the program with in-depth bicycle repair training and job skills coaching, such as resume building, interviewing, networking, and more. Participants rebuild a used bicycle to commute on and keep after the program!
The second part of the program will be customized to match the interests of each participant. Participants will begin to gain experience working in different areas of the Reno Bike Project shop - with options to focus on gaining skills in marketing, customer service, management, or diving deeper into bicycle mechanics.
Finally, participants will complete a 5-week externship with a partnering organization, with options including bike shops, skilled trades, and more. Upon graduation, it is our goal to have produced highly desirable employees with relationships and references from RBP and the partnering organizations.
