This year, a total of 29 vocational students will be assisted by Skoda's staff as they build the car of their dreams from a blank slate.
The Skoda Afriq is based on the Kamiq, but gets the engine of an Octavia, alongside a host of other rally-oriented modifications.
The Skoda Afriq apprentice car, a rally version of the Skoda Kamiq, is already set to make its debut by the first half of this year.
The Afriq name highlights both the firm's history with the Dakar rally as well as its responsibility for the Volkswagen Group's operations in North Africa.
