SMMT, alongside skills organisation SEMTA and a number of UK automotive manufacturers, has joined forces with government to launch a new skills initiative.
The Automotive Industrial Partnership will help to inspire the next generation of automotive engineers and technicians, create new routes into automotive careers and increase skill levels in the industry.
Industry will invest £2.8 million and £16.4 million in-kind, alongside £11.3 million of government funding. Developed through the Automotive Council’s Business Environment and Skills Group, the Automotive Industrial Partnership will develop a number of initiatives.
The Industrial Partnership consists of the UK’s largest automotive employers – Aston Martin, Bentley, BMW, Ford, General Motors, GKN, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Nissan and Toyota – as well as SEMTA and SMMT.
