“We are delighted to be able to support an additional 30 recruits keen to take this route, which will bring the total number of apprentices in the programme to 97,” says Nigel Butler, Renault Trucks’ UK commercial director.
The organisation delivers government-funded apprenticeships, in conjunction with Stephenson College, for the UK dealer network. There are six key programmes comprising heavy vehicle technician, heavy vehicle trailer technician, parts consultant, business administration, service advisor and light/heavy commercial vehicle sales.
All apprentices are directly employed within the Renault Trucks dealer network in workshops across the UK and attend block release sessions at the college.
Graduates from the past two years were recognised recently, at the Renault Trucks UK apprentice awards, held at Chesford Grange, Kenilworth.
