The Italian member-organisation Associazione Professionisti Vetri per Auto APVA took part in an event for school-leavers. The Job & Orienta fair took place for the 21st time in the Fiera di Verona in November 2011. Thousands of young potential technicians were introduced in the skills of automotive glass technicians.
‘Our member companies are constantly looking for new technicians’, says Simona Viviani of APVA. ‘Listening to our members we hear that young people have hardly an idea about the opportunities in our industry. So a typical role for APVA. At the Job & Orienta we told them about the challenges we offer. Therefore we developed a wide program, from an ultra-modern video including crash tests through repair and filming demonstrations’.
The information event came about the Italian Master Fitter Competition, taking place at the Fiera di Verona as well.
