GINO’S AUTOMOTIVE ACCIDENT REPAIR CENTRE PTY LTD
“We recruit apprentices through the MTA WA and have done so for well over 20 years. When we’re due to take on an apprentice, we give the MTA WA a call and they’ll do the initial screening. We’ll then be sent one, two or three apprentices that our MTA training representative thinks is suitable for our business. Immediately that saves us time, and we have a choice of candidates’ hand-selected for our business.”
