Schools to Industry Tours

The schools to industry tours involve host companies opening their doors to the students with company staff conducting organised tours of their premises. Students and teachers tour the business witness firsthand the types of careers available in the heavy commercial vehicle sector. The visitors are able to see activities involving many of the trades in the manufacturing and repair sectors as well as spare parts and administrative operations in both a workshop and office situation.

Students who show genuine interest during the visit will have the opportunity to engage with the industry further and enhance the likelihood that they will look to our industry for apprenticeships, traineeships and work experience as they prepare to leave school and enter the workforce.

Teaching and support staff also benefit from these tours as they are made more aware of the industry’s career opportunities available and contribute more to student’s career decision making.
