City College Peterborough and Millfield Autos Drive Future Automotive Careers

Motor Vehicle learners at City College Peterborough's John Mansfield Campus are continuing to benefit from a successful partnership with Millfield Autos, as the local business enters its second year of sponsorship and support for the college's automotive programme.

The partnership is helping learners prepare for successful careers in the automotive industry through a range of initiatives, including branded workwear sponsorship, work experience placements, supported internships, industry talks and networking opportunities with leading automotive suppliers.

Designed to bridge the gap between education and employment, the collaboration gives Level 1 and Level 2 learners invaluable insight into the automotive sector while helping them develop both technical knowledge and essential workplace skills.

Learners on the college's Motor Vehicle programmes benefit from hands-on training in a professional workshop environment, developing skills in vehicle maintenance, diagnostics and repairs while working towards industry-recognised qualifications. Through the continued support of Millfield Autos, learners are also gaining direct exposure to the wider automotive industry and a clearer understanding of the career pathways available to them.

Andy Donley, Motor Vehicle Tutor at City College Peterborough said:

"Having the support of Millfield Autos for a second consecutive year has made a real difference to our Level 1 and Level 2 Motor Vehicle learners. Their commitment goes far beyond sponsorship, providing valuable work experience opportunities, industry insight and connections with suppliers that help our learners develop the skills, confidence and understanding required for future employment within the automotive sector."

Michael Davis, Sales Manager, Millfield Autos said:

"We are delighted to continue our partnership with City College Peterborough for a second year and to support the fantastic work taking place at the John Mansfield Campus. Creating opportunities for young people in Peterborough is incredibly important to us. We are delighted to be able to help learners gain confidence, develop workplace skills and explore the wide range of careers available within the automotive industry."

As demand continues to grow for skilled automotive professionals, partnerships between education providers and local employers play an increasingly important role in developing future talent. Through its ongoing collaboration with Millfield Autos, City College Peterborough continues to provide learners with valuable industry experience, helping them build the skills, confidence and connections needed to succeed in the workplace.
