MTA Job Ready Program
The MTA has also launched a ‘Job Ready’, 2-day program, to assist applicants with limited automotive experience. This will equip them with a foundational skillset, easing their transition to the workforce. Applicants will be provided with knowledge of WHS, hand tools, hoist operation and vehicle service tasks. Upon completion, they will be available to you to trial for a further week at no cost.
