IMI unveils new automotive training survey
The Institute of the Motor Industry is inviting the sector to help shape future automotive training and development funding.
It has launched a new survey to gather critical insights from employers to identify the training areas where government investment is most required.
The survey is open to employers across the entire automotive sector, including independent repairers, franchised dealer groups, specialist businesses, and fleet operators. Individuals responsible for training and development as well as workforce planning are also encouraged to participate.
The insights gathered will directly inform the IMI’s programme development, ensuring the organisation continues to meet the evolving needs of the sector.
Emma Carrigy, head of research, careers and inclusion at the IMI, said: “Building and retaining a skilled, competent workforce remains a top priority for automotive businesses as they continue to navigate a significant skills gap whilst facing rapid technological change.
“By understanding where businesses plan to invest in skills development and which capabilities matter most to their operations, we can develop the right tools to support employers as they seek to retain talent in an increasingly competitive market.”
