The company’s training team, along with the current cohort of service technician apprentices, will be on stand SK3 in the Future Skills Zone, talking through their experiences and demonstrating the skills they have learnt.
Tony Wallis, commercial director at Toyota Material Handling, emphasised the importance of career progression at the company. “We are always looking towards the future at Toyota,” he said, “whether that is in our technology or the development of our team.”
On the stand, visitors will be able to watch live demonstrations of the practical skills learnt by apprentice service technicians. These include mechanical engineering, forklift truck servicing and fault finding.
“We feel that having a stand dedicated to careers will help inform people about the opportunities a career with Toyota can provide, and also the longevity it can lead to within our company,” added Wallis.
Toyota is well-known for its apprenticeship scheme, as Wallis explained: “We work closely with colleges as part of our technician apprenticeship scheme, and we also have a well-structured training programme for new members of our sales team to help them at the beginning of their career path with us.”
IMHX 2016 is the UK’s largest intralogistics event. It is being held at Birmingham’s NEC from 13-16 September.
