The motor sport industry’s largest apprenticeship drive has recruited 11 new starters. Successful applicants will gain experience in different areas of business from the Aston Martin Racing and Subaru World Rally Teams.
British motorsport specialist Prodrive selected the 11 new apprentices, one of which is the company’s first ever female apprentice, from a pool of 500 applicants who are looking to gain the NVQ qualification.
This Advanced Apprenticeship in Motorsport will offer experience from machining to fabrication and composites for road and competition cars.
Although they will become specialists in their chosen field, they will spend time in every department of the company to gain an overall understanding of the business.
The recruits will join 11 existing year two and three apprentices. Several will also get the opportunity to travel on events and tests with the race and rally teams. The scheme is run in conjunction with Oxford and Cherwell College in Bicester and Warwickshire College in Leamington Spa.
