Leading vehicle bodybuilder, TVS Interfleet, has announced the creation of a new apprenticeship programme which will launch in September 2023.
In the first year, TVS Interfleet will open up eight initial apprenticeship places across its Wisbech and Market Deeping sites, with the aim of training the next generation of vehicle bodybuilders. The new apprenticeships will be run in conjunction with the College of West Anglia who will provide classroom-based learning and skills development.
To ensure the new apprenticeships are able to access the highest level of training and development, the company has developed a buddy system which will be part of a mentoring package. This will provide access to a ‘buddy’ who will be able to help them navigate their way through their first experience of a full-time job.
Ian Walch, Operations Director, at TVS Interfleet, says: “TVS Interfleet has grown significantly over the last couple of years and we’re continually looking at ways to strengthen our workforce to meet our ambitious growth plans.
“Now is the right time to open a new apprenticeship programme that will provide opportunities for local individuals who are leaving school. On successful completion of the their programme, individuals will have the skills and qualifications to secure a job for life due to the in-demand nature of the apprenticeships that we are offering. It is hoped that they will continue to work and flourish for TVS Interfleet and be part of our exciting journey.”
Individuals who join the new apprenticeship programme will also be able access TVS Interfleet market-leading benefits package including life insurance, critical illness cover, and Medicash.
All eight apprenticeships will be within the welding and body fitter departments.
