Thought this may be of interest to some younger members of TMF interested in a career in the motor industry. If only I was young enough to apply.......

Production Apprenticeships are at the three MINI Manufacturing Plants all together called the MINI Production triangle:
MINI has its “Home of Production” in three plants. The Hams Hall, Birmingham plant produces the MINI petrol engines, Plant Oxford is responsible for the body shell production, paint and assembly and Plant Swindon produces body pressings and sub-assemblies.

[Burnard]

Honestly wouldnt bother, from what ive heard its not much fun with any of the BIG car companies.

[mab01uk]

If you are young and just starting out on a career in the motor industry big car companies are a good place to gain much needed experience, get training and have listed on your CV for future employers to see.

[Mad Max]

Considering theres not alot of jobs out there anyway its a good place to get started

[Masoa010]
