MOTOR VEHICLE
Why take on an Apprentice?
The Motor Vehicle sector is a fast-growing industry, with the quick pace of vehicle technology creating constant demand for technical skills.
Yet a third of employers said that skills gaps in their workforce were due to being unable to keep up with changes in technology, while 13% think that those skills gaps will increase in the next two to three years.
That’s where the Apprenticeship programme can help.
Apprentices learn on the job, working alongside experienced staff to gain job-specific skills. Off the job Apprentices receive training to work towards nationally recognised qualification, ensuring your staff are fully equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to help you maintain your competitive advantage.
Research has highlighted that employers offer Apprenticeship places because they understand the benefits that Apprentices bring to their business - increased productivity, improved competitiveness and a committed and competent work-force.
