Forklift apprentice recruitment drive byToyota

North Warwickshire & Hinckley College recently hosted an apprenticeship recruitment event, where candidates were invited to meet members of the training teams from Toyota and the college. The new recruits, who will work in different locations within Toyota across the country, will study at the college in two week blocks five times a year. While there, they will be based at the fork lift truck training centre at Nuneaton's Bermuda Park where they will work towards their technical certificate. Jackie Shelton, apprenticeship manager at the college said: "Toyota is an industry leader in materials handling and we are absolutely thrilled to be working with them to deliver this exciting new apprenticeship programme. The successful candidates can look forward to working for a fantastic company and at the same time accessing training from an Ofsted-rated outstanding college." Ken Williams, Toyota's training officer, said: "Successful apprenticeship programmes which deliver the very best training and opportunities to apprentices are built on strong working partnerships. We are working closely with the college to ensure that the apprentices get a great start in their forklift truck careers." Toyota has donated items to the college's training centre including a reach truck and a gas-powered forklift.
