The Society of the Irish Motor Industry (SIMI) have launched the 2023 €3,000 Computers for Schools Competition.

The objective of the competition is to raise awareness around the benefits of apprenticeships in the motor industry and how students can obtain an apprenticeship.

The competition has already attracted more than 500 entries, and there is still time to enter – entries are open until May 15th.

To enter this year’s competition, students simply have to answer a series of questions based on two short videos. Entries can be submitted at the following link: https://www.simi.ie/en/schools-competition
