Attracting Future Apprentices

The MTA is committed to opening doors to the automotive industry and the peak body regularly hosts guests to demonstrate the wide range of career opportunities across automotive.

The MTA’s Royal Park Training and Employment Centre boasts the latest technology in a modern workshop, with an interactive and hands-on experience no ordinary classroom could ever replicate.

50 Vocational Education Training (VET) coordinators from Catholic Education South Australia and the Association of Independent Schools of South Australia recently visited the Centre.

The coordinators had the chance to see first-hand the facilities that the MTA has to offer, including its state-of-the-art training workshops. Charley, an MTA first-year school-based apprentice, shared her positive apprentice experience to the excited stakeholders.

More than 25 prospective apprentices and their families also recently joined the MTA to learn about the diverse range of automotive jobs at the Careers in Auto Open Night.

It provided students with the chance to explore career pathways and learn more about positions which might not typically feature on their school curriculums.

In particular, the guests were impressed to learn about the organisation’s direct employment pathways which other training providers cannot facilitate.

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.
