Young people who are interested in pursuing a career in the automotive industry are invited to come along to the MTA Queensland Auto Career Evening which is due to be held at McCarthy Panel Works on Wednesday evening.
With the introduction of Electric and Hybrid Vehicles in recent years, there are a lot of changes happening within this exciting industry.
The Expo is an opportunity for people to connect with employers, learn more about the different careers available and vocational pathways that can lead to the next step in securing an apprenticeship.
On the night, The Snap-On Pantech Truck will be attending which will showcase the latest scanning equipment, there will also be Nissan and Tesla vehicles on-site and attendees will see the latest calibration machines.
There are over 40 trades and roles within the sector and Andrea McCarthy, who sits on the board of the Motor Traders Association of Queensland, says she is passionate about helping young people realise their potential.
“I have first-hand experience of how tight the labour market is at the moment,” she said.
“I want to help give people more opportunity to talk to employers so they have a direct link to the industry – this is bigger than McCarthy Panel Works, this is for the industry as a whole.”
The Expo has a capacity of 100 people and 70 people have already registered so, if you are interested in attending, scan the QR code to reserve your space.
