Course offers motor trade employment


A new automotive academy offers a job to all those who graduate from its three-month long course.

The Auto Super Shoppes Academy starts its first course in Albany this month, offering a partial scholarship worth $3000 to those who take up one of the 15 placements.

The course will have a strong focus on punctuality, accountability and willingness to work hard – skills that it believes employers are looking for on top of workshop competencies such as servicing a car.

The course aligns its teachings to the MITO apprenticeship curriculum, with the addition of extra competencies. If students make the grade, they will be offered a job within the Auto Super Shoppes network. Info: www.autosupershoppes.co.nz/academy/
