Opportunities for unemployed Apprentices
There are a variety of reasons why an apprentice employee will quit their job and drop out of the training program and become disconnected with the automotive industry.
When MIT receives a cancellation form, the student is contacted for feedback and is engaged in a discussion about their decision to withdraw.
During these discussions, MIT will ensure that the student is listened to, empathised with and made to feel that there is someone who really cares about their future.
If it is determined that the student would like to continue to gain a qualification and reasons for withdrawing from workplace includes; conflicts, lack of employer support, motivational issues or uncertainty of career choice, MIT can offer the student a fresh start to re-engage with the program.
Indeed, MIT will then organise the paperwork and applications for approval for the funding for the student to resume their training with a MIT college trainer whilst seeking employment.
MIT continues to support the student by presenting them to MTA Queensland members or other businesses that contact the Association when they are looking to hire new employees.
This approach to re-engaging the student with the industry can prove to be the most significant turning point in a person's career path.
