Community Engagement Tesla is committed to positively impacting and strengthening the communities in which we live and work Workforce Development We strive to accomplish this work through: • Workforce development and education programs that provide access to the community we aim to support and create equity for our workforce; • Building community connections to increase representation and ensure that job opportunities are promoted locally; and • Supporting environmental equity and connecting underrepresented communities to our mission. Workforce Development We are continuing to provide the local community access to thousands of job openings across the U.S. in manufacturing, vehicle service and solar roof installation, offering full benefits and training from day one. We have long stated publicly that candidates do not need to have a college degree to work at Tesla. This represents an enormous opportunity for high school graduates from underserved communities to join us in our mission and grow their careers. Tesla START is an intensive training program that provides students across North America with the skills necessary for a successful career at Tesla and beyond. During the program, students develop technical expertise and earn certifications through in-class theory, hands-on labs and self-paced learning. We partner with community colleges across the country to integrate Tesla START into automotive and manufacturing curriculums as a multi-week capstone. Since the launch over START over 550 students have been placed in full-time employment at Tesla. Tesla’s Manufacturing Development Program is a two-year program where recent high school graduates in the U.S. start a career at Tesla as a Production Associate while continuing their education in automation and robotics at a local community college. To date, we've hired 168 graduates into this program since launching in 2017, with active programs at Gigafactory Nevada, Gigafactory New York and our Fremont Factory. We also launched our first Manufacturing Development Program class with Del Valle High School to support Gigafactory Texas in fall 2021. Tesla’s Tool & Die Apprenticeship Tesla offers a federal and state certified Tool & Die Apprenticeship program in the U.S., in partnership with local community colleges, at the Fremont Factory, Gigafactory Nevada and Tesla Grand Rapids. These apprenticeships blend on-the-job training by qualified mentors with classroom learning, providing a holistic approach to learning a trade in high demand. Apprentices learn welding, machining, blueprint reading and other critical skills. 67
