The DAF Apprentice Academy represents a £3.5m investment into a brand-new development and facilities, and becomes the new home for the popular DAF Apprenticeship Programme.
The DAF Apprentice Academy - which can accommodate up to 600 apprentices - will deliver dedicated, next-level training for DAF apprentices from across the DAF Dealer network.
The DAF Apprentice Academy provides training exclusively to the DAF brand and no other automotive marque. Training pathways will be provided across Technician, Parts, Service, Business Administration and Departmental Manager disciplines.
Matt Coates, training & apprenticeships manager at DAF Trucks, who has been responsible for creating the new DAF Apprentice Academy, spoke to Transport Engineer about the impact the new academy will have on the truck manufacturer's apprenticeship programme.
See the April issue of Transport Engineer for an in-depth look at the academy.
