Bentley tops employer poll for school leavers
Bentley Motors has been named the number one automotive employer for school leavers in the UK for the second year running.
The awards – presented by careers guidance company AllAboutSchoolLeavers and voted for solely by Apprentices – highlighted Bentley’s focus on future talent, learning and development and its innovative approach to Apprenticeship programmes, balancing theoretical learning with practical working.
Dr Astrid Fontaine, member of the board for people, digitalisation and IT, said, ‘To once again be named the Top Automotive Employer for School Leavers in the UK is an achievement we are very proud of and underlines our continued commitment to future talent. This commitment spans decades with programmes running for more than 40 years each offering a solid foundation for people to build the relevant skills and knowledge that will enable them to grow through their careers.’
A new cohort of 49 Apprentices will start in the autumn of 2019 joining the 200 people already on trainee programmes at Bentley Motors.
