Two Leading Automotive Manufacturers Making a Difference at the MTA

Here at the MTA, we value all our relationships with our industry automotive partners.

Hyundai Australia and Kia Australia have been particularly supportive of the MTA in the light vehicle area, generously donating the latest new model pre-production vehicles for apprentices to learn and work on. Hyundai Australia recently donated a number of pre-production vehicles, including three vehicles from their premium brand, Genesis. Kia Australia also continue their support with the donation of a PHEV and other recent model releases.

Lachlan Fotheringham, Skills Manager of Light Vehicle, Paint and Panel at the MTA said “these donations are key to training the next generation of technicians. Working with terrific vehicles equipped with state of the art technology is exciting for everyone. The students and trainers take pride in working with the newest tools and machinery. We are all very grateful.”

It is imperative, not just for our members' businesses but also for our economy that we are able to keep cars and trucks on our roads. Of course, we need skilled and qualified tradespeople to do that.

At the MTA, our apprentices receive training that is comprehensive and up to date. These vehicles will be part of their weekly instruction in automotive repair and maintenance, panel beating, and vehicle painting.

Everyone benefits from highly trained and equipped apprentices. The MTA owes Hyundai Australia and Kia Australia much gratitude for their generous donation.

Working together with the MTA creates a perfect opportunity to build a brand new generation of knowledgeable and equipped mechanics for the future. A great investment in their own future!
