Partnership to help automotive students
Derby College Group has announced a new partnership to help newly qualified students get a job in the automotive industry.
It has teamed up with Autotech Academy to assist students into employment through paid internships.
Autotech Academy offers three to 12-month internship opportunities for students.
It also equips them with their own toolbox (worth £1,200), uniform and ongoing training for the duration of their internship.
Brian Malyan, DCG’s head of engineering and motor vehicle, Brian Malyan said: “We have an extensive work experience programme in place for our students but this partnership with Autotech Academy is the icing on the cake.
“It will give students a head start in their job search by seamlessly bridging the gap between education and the workplace.
“As well as earning a salary, they will have the chance to be taken on in a full-time job or move elsewhere with additional skills and a better understanding of the workplace.”
