Siemens Mobility joins Davidson-Davie Apprenticeship Consortium to boost membership to 10 companies
LEXINGTON, N.C. (Sept. 9, 2025) – The Davidson-Davie Apprenticeship Consortium (DDAC) recently announced Siemens Mobility, Inc., as its newest partner in a growing alliance of companies committed to building a skilled and sustainable workforce in Davidson and Davie counties.
Siemens Mobility is the 10th member of DDAC, joining BMK Group, Cascade Die Casting Group, Wolverine Proctor, EGGGER Wood Products, Ingersoll Rand, KURZ Transfer Products, Mohawk Industries, Owens & Minor and SBA Home N.C, as partners in the consortium.
As one of the United States’ largest passenger rolling stock manufacturer and a leader in intelligent transport solutions for more than 175 years, Siemens Mobility is opening a $220 million, state-of-the-art manufacturing and rail services facility in Lexington, NC. Building trains locally for America, this new site will create over 500 jobs by 2028 and become one of the city’s largest employers.
“Siemens Mobility is proud to partner with DDAC as we advance our mission to transform rail in America by building passenger trains right here in Lexington,” Tobias Bauer, acting CEO, Siemens Mobility North America. “We’re committed to creating an environment that fosters lifelong learning and builds individuals’ growth mindsets. This partnership represents a meaningful step forward, as we build a legacy with the local community and create lasting opportunities for workforce development.”
The DDAC members offer the opportunity to earn while learning through paid apprenticeships offering benefits. These programs combine hands-on, real-world training with classroom instruction at Davidson-Davie Community College, leading to an associate degree and nationally recognized journeyman certifications. Participants incur no college debt, with DDAC members covering tuition and other expenses.
“We are thrilled to have Siemens Mobility on board,” said Dylan Wilmoth, DDAC board chair. “Their commitment to innovation and excellence aligns perfectly with our mission to prepare the next generation of skilled professionals.”
