Opening Doors to the Automotive Industry

The MTA is committed to highlighting the important role of our industry, and as the peak body, continues to regularly host a number of guests to demonstrate the range of career opportunities across automotive.

The MTA’s Royal Park Automotive Skills and Careers Centre hosts the latest technology in a modern workshop, with an interactive and hands-on experience no ordinary classroom could ever replicate. School visits in particular are often a huge success, where the Pit Stop Challenge and remote-control cars are favourite activities.

The association is continually demonstrating the work of the industry whereby, the MTA is now synonymous with all things automotive. When people think of our industry – they think of the MTA.

Students and visitors alike are often impressed with the diverse opportunities within automotive. Young people can see first hand that they can get a job, they can have an apprenticeship and they can have

a future in an exciting industry. We need to entice the next generation into this rewarding career path.

The MTA has apprenticeships available in the industry for anybody with a desire and willingness to learn. Today’s apprenticeships are at the cutting edge of an innovative career, where pioneering technologies are developing new opportunities, including for electric vehicles, but also right across the spectrum of trades and qualifications like never before.
