MG focuses on young engineers

MG Motor UK has accepted seven new students on to its acclaimed automotive engineering internship programme for 2016-17.

Open to all university undergraduates taking relevant degrees within the engineering field, the initiative demonstrates the carmaker’s ongoing commitment to developing young talent.

The students, all from Bath or Oxford Brookes universities, will spend the next year working at the SAIC Motor Technical Centre (SMTC), which is based at MG’s Longbridge site in Birmingham.

Employing more than 250 qualified engineers, the SMTC delivers product engineering and design activity for MG Motor’s global operations, as well as providing automotive engineering services to other companies within the SAIC group.
