To celebrate National Apprenticeship Week, the UK Garage and Bodyshop Event has announced two exciting initiatives aimed at school pupils and college students. These initiatives are designed to provide valuable work experience opportunities and kickstart careers in the automotive industry.
The first initiative is a work experience program for school pupils. This program will give students the chance to spend a week in a garage or bodyshop, shadowing experienced technicians and learning about the day-to-day operations of the industry. It is a fantastic opportunity for young people to gain real-world experience and get a taste of what a career in the automotive sector entails.
The second initiative is a college student apprenticeship program. This program is open to students who are currently studying automotive-related courses at college. It offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience while completing their studies. The apprenticeship program will provide students with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in the industry and secure a rewarding career.
These initiatives are a part of the UK Garage and Bodyshop Event’s commitment to nurturing the next generation of automotive professionals. The event, which is the largest of its kind in the UK, brings together leading industry experts, suppliers, and manufacturers to showcase the latest advancements and innovations in the sector.
