“The automotive industry is suffering a massive shortage in skilled trainers, who are needed to educate our future automotive professionals.
“The MTA Institute supports career advancement for automotive employees and the launch of this scholarship shows our commitment to progressing the careers of those within the automotive industry, while also addressing the larger skills shortage issue,” Mr Kulpa said.
