SCCVC Automotive Photo Two

Vehicles in the workshop
These are two of the vehicles we have in the workshop. All cars in the workshop have been donated by generous Sydneysiders who see the value in VET at school. The 4WD diesel is mainly used for its engine compression tests and 4WD hub systems. The vehicle next to it is a 1972 Ford Falcon Wagon which we are currently restoring back to original specifications.

    What are the possibilities for the students to get a job immediately?
    How many weeks do they practice in different workplaces?
    How many people get jobs through practice?

  3. Hi Thomas,
    The students do a minimum of 70 hours workplace experience throughout the 2 years at the college. After they have completed the course we have a workplace team that assists them into getting employment.
    From last year's graduating class there are 5 students who are now employed as apprentice motor mechanics.

    2. Hello Thomas,

      That is great news.
      The more motor mechanics we have in todays society the better we will be.

  4. Hi Fredrik,
    It is a very busy workshop and we have another 2 cars that the students work on. Currently we do not bring any other cars for the students to work on other that the 4 cars we have in there but maybe it is something we will look at in the future.
