Later this year Volkswagen’s Chattanooga plant will start producing the new midsize SUV (#Biguan) and as a result they need 1,100 new employees. To fill that need they’ll be hosting their first job fair since Volkswagen began hiring in 2009.

The fair will take place on September 16 from 2-6pm and on September 17 from 10am to 2pm at the Volkswagen Chattanooga Conference Center. Volkswagen is looking to hire people for logistics and production positions.

“As we work towards ramping up production of a new SUV, we first need to add nearly 1,100 new people to our top notch team,” says Mario Duarte, Sr Manager of Organizational Development at Volkswagen Chattanooga. “Taking advantage of the open positions with Aerotek is the first step down the path to a fulfilling career at Volkswagen.”

Best of all, though, there will be free refreshments and a bouncy castles!

Volkswagen Chattanooga is seeking to bring on board 1,100 new team members between now and mid-April of 2017 as the plant prepares to add production of a new midsize SUV to its Passat production lines.

Volkswagen and Aerotek recruiters will be available onsite, and current Volkswagen Chattanooga production team members will be available for questions. Refreshments will be provided, as well as activities for children, including bounce houses and interactive games.

All production team members will initially be hired in conjunction with Volkswagen Chattanooga’s staffing partner Aerotek, which is currently hiring candidates for logistics and production positions.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
