Ayrshire College apprentices on route to success with Bridgend Motor Group
Ayrshire College students now have the perfect roadmap to success… thanks to a special partnership with the region’s leading motor vehicle specialists.
This new collaboration between the College and Bridgend Motor Group will give successful full-time motor vehicle students from pre-apprenticeship courses the opportunity to enrol in Bridgend's Training Academy — then upon successful completion, the learners will return to study for a Modern Apprenticeship.
Bridgend Motor Group comprises 13 departments whose operations encompass used car sales, used commercial vehicle sales, service, maintenance, MOT and accident repair.
The family-owned firm, with more than 250 local employees across seven branches covering North, South and East Ayrshire, has been investing in the community for almost a century.
Alison Mitchell, HR Manager at Bridgend Motor Group, said: “We are delighted to partner with Ayrshire College and give its students the chance to join our academy programme and progress through a Modern Apprenticeship.
“Bridgend Motor Group has been driving Ayrshire forward since 1930 and we believe that this partnership will provide learners with a pathway to full-time employment in the region and help our business to flourish.”
Stuart Millar, Head of Apprenticeships and Work Based Learning said: “This innovative link-up with Bridgend Motor Group gives students a fantastic opportunity to gain employment at one of Scotland’s leading companies.
The structured combination of college-based and work-based learning of a Motor Vehicle Modern Apprenticeship underpinned by Bridgend’s training academy will provide successful apprentices with a unique combination of skills and experience to support their future career.”
