2025 MITO Connect Events
Meet with school leavers who are ready to step into a job!
MITO Connect events are a great opportunity for both employers who are looking to hire in the near future and school leavers who are looking to enter the automotive, road transport, or quarrying industries. Some will have had some exposure to the industry under their belt already, after completing MITO school micro-credentials, increasing the likelihood of finding committed and passionate apprentices.
MITO Connect events are designed in a two-way interview style with each school leaver and employer meeting for five minutes. Employers have the opportunity to meet potential candidates and school leavers can find out more about their business and the wider industry directly from employers.
The events will run in the evening from 5:30pm - 7:30pm, ensuring minimal disruption to business operations.
