BMW Girls go Technical Scheme over October Half Term

BMW GIRLS GO TECHNICAL PROGRAMME
                           APPLY NOW!

Fantastic opportunity for talented young ladies.

We are again running our popular Girls Go Technical Programme, aimed at young ladies between the ages of 15 and 24 (minimum year 11 in September 2017), who are considering a technical
apprenticeship within the manufacturing industry to commence in September 2018.

Participants will experience the day-today challenges encountered by our engineers and technical apprentices in our fascinating world-class factories through this exciting and unique opportunity.

A limited number of places are available on the scheme which will run during the October half term holiday from Monday 23rd October through to Thursday 26th October 2017.

Those attending will be taken on a tour around two of the three manufacturing sites: Plant Oxford where MINI is built, Plant Hams Hall where engines are assembled and Plant Swindon, the Body
and Pressings Plant. Four days will be spent at the heart of our operations, two at the site closest to your home region for in-depth work experience, and two at Plant Oxford.

Upon completion of the programme, participants will have gained:
• An in-depth awareness of manufacturing and engineering processes
• An insight into the range of careers available including technical roles
• Enhanced interview and job application skills.

To apply for a place on the programme, please access:
