Burrows Search for a Star
What is it?
Burrows Search for a Star is a apprenticeship programme for young individuals who are looking for an apprentice opportunity within the motor trade.
At the start of the new year we will be visiting schools across South Yorkshire and talking to students about the Search for a Star campaign and the working life as an apprentice at Burrows Motor Company. Giving you the chance to ask any questions you may have.
Students, parents and guardians are invited to the fun open evenings at our dealerships to give the students access to the insights of the different areas of Burrows which included a tour of the workshop, speeches from staff, meeting some of the Burrows Toyota team members and Toyota Academy.
Take a look at the different stages of the Burrows apprenticeship scheme below for more details.
Step One (January 2019)
2019 Dealership Open Evenings
You (with a parent/ carer) will attend an open evening event at our Burrows Toyota dealerships. At this event you will hear presentations from Burrows directors and senior Toyota personnel providing more details of the programme. In addition you will have a tour of our facilities and take part in a career speed networking event during which you can ask Burrows and Toyota representatives questions about their working life. This will provide you with a great insight into working within the automotive industry.
Whilst the career speed networking event is in progress, parents/ carers will have an opportunity to ask the HR team any questions regarding the programme.
