Apprenticeships at Peter Vardy

Car dealership chain Peter Vardy is the latest firm to commit to taking on trainees following the success of its Apprentice-style recruitment scheme.

Vardy has rolled out its Rookie Academy for a second year and on a bigger scale with up to 20 jobs up for grabs. More than 200 people applied for the 12-week intensive course which last year saw 11 apprentices taken on from the 400 who applied.

Those recruits attended a series of rigorous assessment days consisting of presentations and role play against each other and with chief executive Peter Vardy.

The rookies were trained in every facet of the car selling trade and in March took up sales positions across the seven dealerships throughout Scotland.
