Paint and Panel<br />
Open Night<br />
The <strong>MTA</strong> recently held its inaugural Paint and Panel<br />
Open Night at the Royal Park Training Centre.<br />
The new concept aimed to promote the opportunities available to<br />
school leavers in the crash repair sector. The event was designed<br />
to get <strong>MTA</strong> trainers, industry representatives, automotive business<br />
specialists and the recruitment team in front of students, parents<br />
and school leavers in an informal and relaxed environment.<br />
Nearly 60 people, including parents, attended the event, with more<br />
than 20 participants confirming their interest in taking the next<br />
step towards gaining an apprenticeship.<br />
<strong>MTA</strong> CEO Darrell Jacobs said with local businesses facing acute<br />
labour and skilled shortages, it was more important now than<br />
ever to attract the next generation of skilled tradespeople.<br />
“It was great to have such a strong response from students<br />
and schools as we showcased the diverse and exciting careers<br />
available to them across the automotive industry,” he said.<br />
“Personally, I think paint and panel is one of the most exciting<br />
trades in the industry – I love painting and I think panel beating<br />
has an art form to it.”<br />
