College course: Level 3 Motor Vehicle & Maintenance Technician
Employer: M-B Tech
Three motor vehicle students from Warrington & Vale Royal College have recently gained an extremely lucrative apprenticeship with local Mercedes-Benz specialists, MB-Tech, after completing a week-long Industry Placement.
Alex Petrus, Liam Whitfield, and Jack Hewitt, former Level 3 Motor Vehicle Maintenance students, made a strong impression on the MB-Tech team in Westbrook during their industry placement. During the course of the week, the students demonstrated their impressive skills and professionalism, prompting the business owners to offer them an incredible opportunity to earn while they learn on the Level 3 Motor Vehicle & Maintenance Technician (Light Vehicle) apprenticeship.
Reflecting on the college experience, the students shared:
"Our tutor was incredibly supportive and provided us with opportunities we never imagined. We felt well-supported and thrilled to gain experience with a specialist company like MB-Tech."
