Motor Industry Training Association of WA (MITA) presentations for students

The Motor Industry Training Association of WA (MITA) has offered to provide Year 11 and 12 students , in the metropolitan area, with up to date career information about the automotive industry over the next few months.

Changing technology, advances in the automotive industry and future trends are influencing the industry to a significant extent. Traditional views of the industry, including trades and career pathways need to be updated to reflect the emerging skill requirements and nature of automotive careers in the 21st century. In this respect MITA is offering to present an interactive overview of the range of automotive careers highlighting industry preferences at entry level and the nature of emerging technology and skills. It is expected that many young people will find the industry offers a challenging, satisfying and rewarding career pathway.

Also, MITA, as the largest employer of automotive apprentices and trainees, is prepared to consider a limited number of industry tours through their automotive training workshops in Balcatta. It is suggested that these tours would best suit those who are in Year 11 or 12 who are at this stage still considering an automotive career but require more information to assist with their decision making.
