Do you or someone you know love tinkering with mechanical parts and electronics, getting to the root of the problem and finding solutions? Fancy a rewarding career with cars?
The Mercedes-Benz Advanced Modern Apprenticeship Programme (AMA) might be right up your street. Mercedes-Benz is searching for new young talent for the roles of Passenger Car Technician and Qualified High Voltage (QHV) technician, and this is your chance to build a career with one of the world’s most prestigious companies, earning while you’re learning with the best, alongside some of Malaysia’s brightest young talents.
A Passenger Car Technician initially focuses on service maintenance, carrying out routine maintenance and basic repairs at Mercedes-Benz’s extensive dealer network in Malaysia. The apprentice will then progress to complex fault diagnosis and repair using Mercedes-Benz specialist diagnostic equipment.
Electric vehicles are the present, and future of motoring, and QHV technicians are vital in keeping Mercedes-Benz EQs in tip-top condition. The programme kicks off with the important basics – service maintenance tasks, routine maintenance and basic repairs – before apprentices progress into specialising in EV maintenance, repair and diagnosis.
Why Mercedes-Benz? The Stuttgart carmaker has a strong track record in training and nurturing young talents in after sales. Since the inception of its vocational training programme in 1984, Mercedes-Benz has trained over 1,000 qualified technicians, all with full scholarship, before deploying talents throughout the Mercedes-Benz service network.
Now, Mercedes-Benz is inviting young and enthusiastic Malaysians to build a career with the company via AMA, which combines three years of training plus four years of guaranteed employment. The special programme under the National Dual Training System (NDTS) is run in collaboration with Department of Skills Development (JPK) under the Ministry of Human Resources.
If you’re interested to learn from the best, AMA is accepting applications from now till May 31, 2025. There will be an AMA open day on May 17 at Wisma Mercedes-Benz Malaysia – Training Academy, where you can learn more about the scholarship programme and your career path, should you make the move. RSVP for the open day by emailing to [email protected]. More details on AMA here.
