John Siciliano of Axle Co<br />
Mechanical in Prospect.<br />
apprentice learning journey,<br />
supported by the <strong>MTA</strong><br />
• Exceptional mentorship and<br />
career guidance from both the<br />
<strong>MTA</strong> Trainer and Automotive<br />
Industry Career Mentor, ensuring<br />
apprentices stay on track to<br />
graduate<br />
• Students have access to all<br />
learning material for their year<br />
level, allowing them to collect<br />
evidence in line with day-to-day<br />
workplace tasks<br />
• Access to the <strong>MTA</strong>’s state of<br />
the art Electric Vehicle Centre<br />
• Access to the <strong>MTA</strong>’s Air<br />
Conditioning Training Centre<br />
• Apprentices can enrol and<br />
start training with the <strong>MTA</strong><br />
at any time throughout the<br />
year as we have a rolling intake.<br />
No need to wait for entry into<br />
our training facility<br />
• Comprehensive half-day<br />
inductions for all new apprentices<br />
to prepare them for training at the<br />
<strong>MTA</strong> and in the workplace<br />
• Employers and students are fully<br />
supported through each student<br />
journey with the <strong>MTA</strong>.<br />
Having apprentices access online<br />
learning content and undertake<br />
learning activities at their workplace<br />
means there is greater capacity<br />
at the <strong>MTA</strong>’s training centre. This<br />
ultimately allows the <strong>MTA</strong> to increase<br />
its training capacity and in turn<br />
address the current and future skill<br />
shortages facing the industry.<br />
<strong>MTA</strong> Member John Siciliano from<br />
Axle Co Mechanical said he was<br />
excited about the new training model.<br />
“Ultimately, the less I lose my<br />
apprentices, the better, ” said<br />
business owner John.<br />
“Axle Co Mechanical is bigger than<br />
just John now. Customers are calling<br />
and asking for Dominic and Liam<br />
(two <strong>MTA</strong> apprentices employed at<br />
Axle Co Mechanical). I rely on my<br />
apprentices a lot and I can’t have<br />
them tied up at the training centre<br />
constantly.<br />
“With the dedicated <strong>MTA</strong> trainer<br />
visiting every four to six weeks, it will<br />
also keep me more informed around<br />
what my apprentices are learning on<br />
a weekly basis.”<br />
This is a pivotal moment in the<br />
<strong>MTA</strong>’s training history. This new<br />
approach to automotive apprentice<br />
training will ensure the association<br />
keeps growing, protecting and<br />
supporting the automotive industry<br />
through the association’s efforts to<br />
adequately equip the next generation<br />
of automotive mechanics and<br />
technicians with the skillsset to thrive<br />
in a rapidly-evolving environment.<br />
