In September, we hosted our second round of Apprentice Open Nights for 2025 across our metropolitan and regional dealerships, welcoming over 100 prospective apprentices eager to explore a future in the heavy vehicle industry. These nights offered a great opportunity for attendees to discover what sets a CMV Truck & Bus apprenticeship apart. From our award-winning training program to our state-of-the-art facilities and the globally renowned brands we work with - Volvo, Mack and UD Trucks.
Leaders from the CMV Truck & Bus Training Institute, Matt Wyatt (Training Institute Manager), and Jack Blythman (Learning & Development Coordinator), attended each Open Night, met with guests and provided a detailed outline about what a CMV Truck & Bus Apprentice Program includes. Attendees also enjoyed delicious refreshments while learning about the opportunities available through the program. As part of the evening, Matt and Jack, along with the Service Managers at each dealership, provided in-depth tours of the modern workshops and gave people a rare behind-the-scenes look at all the latest tools and technologies.
It was fantastic to see such strong engagement from potential apprentices, their families, and friends, all keen to learn more about the career pathways available and the hands-on training that defines our program. Guests enjoyed informal Q&A time with the Service Managers at each dealership after the tours and presentations, over some drinks and sandwiches which gave further insight into the inner workings of a CMV Truck & Bus service department.
