12 Year 10 students studying Engineering gained behind the scenes access at the worlds fastest engine production line during their recent visit to Toyota at Deeside, where an engine rolls off the production line every 44 seconds!

Students were given an overview of the company and its history, before gaining exclusive access to Toyota’s cutting edge Hydrogen Fuel Cell technology. Students were also treated to a tour of the factory floor, including manufacturing and maintenance sections where they got to see many of the engineering skills they’ve developed in lessons in a real life scenario. Students then took part in a team challenge where they had to demonstrate many of the values which Toyota look for in future employees before finishing up with a Q&A session and overview of its apprenticeship programmes.
