Colourcube Automotive Supports Local School Students with Week-Long Work Experience Opportunities

At Colourcube Automotive, we believe in nurturing the next generation’s interest in the automotive industry. That’s why we warmly welcome students from local schools who are genuinely curious about our field to join us for a valuable work experience opportunity.

Welcoming work experience students not only benefits them but also enriches our team’s dynamics. It provides our skilled professionals with the chance to become mentors, offering guidance and sharing insights. Through this experience, our team members enhance their communication skills and develop their ability to coach and advise others.

Additionally, we view work experience as a potential recruitment channel. Observing a candidate working alongside our team for a week allows us to gauge their suitability for future roles within our company.

If you or someone you know is interested in gaining hands-on experience with our team, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us via email at info@colourcube-automotive.co.uk or by giving us a call at 01484 900294.

Director Liz Mayes commented:

“We recognize the significant skills shortage within the automotive industry, we are thrilled to be in a position where we can offer work experience to students from our local community. This initiative not only helps address the skills gap but also provides invaluable hands-on experience to the next generation. Our team enjoy sharing their knowledge and experiences of working within the Automotive Industry”.

Steve Swain our Senior Panel Technician commented:

“It was great to introduce Maddie to our panel department. She was a great listener and very keen to learn some new skills, a credit to her school”.

Sarah Timberley Careers Engagement Manager:

“Netherhall Learning Campus High School are grateful for the support of so many local businesses in the Kirklees area. We are fortunate to have built a strong relationship with Colourcube who have offered a variety of work placements to our pupils over the past four years.

We strongly believe every student should have first-hand experiences of the workplace through work visits, work shadowing and/or work experience to help their exploration of career opportunities, and expand their networks. Research shows that experiences of the workplace can create social capital for young people with more limited networks as well as giving them the opportunity to develop essential skills such as teamwork, communication, problem solving as well as building their confidence and independence, this is certainly something our pupils have shown on returning from their time at Colourcube. Pupils enjoyed a variety of tasks and really thrived under the care and guidance of Mike, Liz and the team”.
