Whilst artisan training is available through other centers around the country, Imperial ensures that artisans (apprentices) are employed into their businesses when |
they commence their training. This model provides a relevant mix of both practical Apprentice training and world-class theoretical training at the Academies and the best on the Job experience available. The IMPERIAL training academies are geared in both equipment, technology and teaching methodology toward meeting the exacting standards that the motor industry demands.
Sean Fenn, newly appointed General Manager of Development and Learning for Automotive Retail is clear on the objectives of the IMPERIAL Academies going forward and has set structures and investment in place to ensure the continued success of the centers’. He sees the Academy goal to create industry leading technical training academies in South Africa defined by their use of latest training methods, training materials and I.T systems driven by innovative technologies and in so doing address the critical shortage of technical skills within the automotive industry |
