Stratford-upon-Avon College has partnered with Listers Group Ltd to help develop the next generation of vehicle technicians.
Listers, one of the largest privately-owned dealer groups in the UK, will support students studying motor vehicle courses and will offer workplace tuition support and supply students with several vehicles to work on in their workshops.
The cars supplied by Listers Group will be equipped with the latest technology and provide students with first-hand experience on a wide range of vehicles.
Students who successfully complete the course will have the opportunity to secure future employment at one of 51 Listers Group sites across the country.
Listers Group will lend several part-exchange vehicles specific to the brands the company represents, which includes Audi, BMW, CUPRA, Honda, Isuzu, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, MINI, Porsche, SEAT, ŠKODA, smart, Toyota, Volkswagen Cars and Commercial Vehicles and Volvo.
Nicola Coley, Workplace Coordinator at the College, said: “To have Listers Group on board is a huge plus for our students, and this partnership will help us to develop vastly skilled mechanics, who are fully-equipped for the world of work. We are training our students to be the future of the motor industry and the possible employment opportunities available because of this deal will give the students a great start. We would like to thank Listers Group for choosing to work with us and providing this vital support for the development of our students.”
