Youth in Transition School (YIT)

Baltimore, MD

Keep Students Moving. Build Futures That Last.

At NCIA’s Youth in Transition School, this role goes beyond transportation and beyond instruction. You will be responsible for keeping our students safe, on schedule, and engaged, while also helping them build real, employable skills in the automotive field.

We are looking for someone who takes pride in running reliable operations and enjoys hands-on work. Someone who notices when things are off, fixes problems before they escalate, and can turn everyday moments in the shop into learning opportunities.

This is a role for a doer. Someone who values structure, accountability, and consistency, and who understands that stability is often the first step in changing a young person’s direction.

Transportation Coordination and Oversight

You will ensure that daily transportation runs safely, consistently, and without disruption.

Coordinate student transportation schedules and routes

Ensure all vehicles are safe, compliant, and inspection ready

Manage preventative maintenance and repairs

Maintain logs, documentation, and regulatory compliance

Train and support drivers to meet expectations

Respond to issues quickly and keep operations on track

Automotive Instruction and Skill Building

You will work directly with students to build practical, job-ready automotive skills.

Provide hands-on instruction in core automotive tasks such as oil changes, tire service, and brake work

Create structured learning experiences aligned with ASE fundamentals

Maintain a safe, organized, and functional shop environment

Track student progress and reinforce accountability and work habits

Use real-world tasks to teach consistency, responsibility, and pride in workmanship

QualificationsWhat We’re Looking For

High school diploma or GED

3 to 5 years of hands-on automotive experience

Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record

Strong attention to detail and commitment to safety

Ability to balance structure with patience when working with youth

Preferred

ASE certification

Experience working with young people or in a training environment
