In February, we celebrated National Apprenticeship Week 2025 by recognizing the hard work of our dedicated apprentices, Connor and Kyle. We also showcased what a day in the life at Porsche Centre Aberdeen is like, offering a glimpse into the experience for anyone interested in pursuing an apprenticeship with Porsche in the future.
We caught up with our Parts Apprentice, Kyle Philips, to ask him a few questions about his apprenticeship experience so far...
What inspired you to pursue an apprenticeship in the automotive industry?
“The main thing was my interest and fascination for cars. When I saw the opportunity for an apprenticeship at Porsche I jumped at the chance.”
What benefits do you think apprenticeships offer over traditional education?
“I think apprenticeships differ from traditional education and have more benefits as instead of sitting in a classroom you are in the working environment, gaining first hand experience by learning on the job.”
What has been the most rewarding aspect of your apprenticeship so far?
“The most rewarding aspect is gaining knowledge and experience of the automotive industry all while being at the worlds number one luxury brand in Porsche.”
Connor is our Apprentice Technician and has been doing a fantastic job. We asked Connor about the highlights of his apprenticeship experience so far, this is what he had to say:
“I love being around all these amazing cars every day and learning from the skilled Porsche-approved technicians. Each day, I feel like I have learnt something new and it’s really rewarding.”
