› 25 ŠKODA vocational students have started to work on the ŠKODA student car
› Annual ŠKODA Academy project has been an important part of training since 2014
› Apprentices gain broad understanding of all departments at ŠKODA AUTO
Mladá Boleslav, 1 October – On the way to number 8: 25 apprentices from the ŠKODA vocational school in Mladá Boleslav have started work on the eighth ŠKODA student car. This project continues the ŠKODA Academy’s annual tradition of giving vocational school students the opportunity to design and build their own dream car since 2014. The students discuss possible components and materials for the eighth ŠKODA student car with their instructors and ŠKODA #auto Board Members.
Maren Gräf, ŠKODA #auto Board Member for Human Resources, says: “The ŠKODA student car project has an excellent reputation and is a figurehead for our company and our development of young talent. I am very proud to be part of this project for the first time this year and look forward to accompanying the apprentices along their way. This is a great experience for the vocational students; building their own dream car strengthens their motivation and creativity, and at the same time they gain many technical skills while building the vehicle.”
At the ŠKODA vocational school in Mladá Boleslav, talented up-and-comers have been designing and building a new ŠKODA student car – their very own dream car – under the guidance of their instructors every year since 2014. The innovative project, which is unique in the Czech Republic, offers the skilled workers of tomorrow the unique chance to demonstrate their abilities in collaboration with the Production, Design and other specialist departments. At the very beginning of the project, the vocational students are given the opportunity to exchange ideas with members of the ŠKODA #auto Board of Management and present their approaches and ideas. In subsequent planning stages, they are supported by numerous ŠKODA experts, for example from the Development department and ŠKODA Design. Through these interactions, the apprentices gain an insight into all relevant areas of the company. They learn to work in a team to realise a project, combine planning and practical implementation, and present their work to the Board.
