The automotive industry is searching for talented employees to join its ranks as it helps to drive Britain’s move to a net zero economy.
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) Charitable Trust Fund, in partnership with the City of London Livery Company, the Worshipful Company of Coachmakers and Coach Harness Makers, has launched the Automotive Industry Career Guide to coincide with the UK’s first ever Green Careers Week (November 7-12).
The guide is described as a key resource for school leavers, graduates and career changers on the vast range of new opportunities in the development, production and maintenance of technologies, from hydrogen trucks and electric buses, to high-performance sports cars, self-driving vehicles, zero emission components, advanced software solutions and technical roles in the £50bn aftermarket sector.
The SMMT estimates that some 14,000 new roles have either been delivered or created by UK investment in zero emission vehicle and battery production since 2011,
The new guide offers insight into a wide range of automotive sectors and employers, with advice on how to find the ideal job or apprenticeship, interview techniques and scholarship and bursary opportunities, for people from all backgrounds, experience, gender, ethnicity, qualification and ability.
