IMI webinar targets new talent
The Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) is collaborating with Bentley to host a webinar intended to help attract new talent to the industry.
To coincide with National Graduate Week, it is hosting a webinar at 3pm on Thursday, 24 September, which will highlight the range of graduate schemes available, how to apply and the potential career pathways in the industry.
Joanna Hollingdale, careers and student membership manager at the IMI, said: “We are very proud to be a part of National Graduate Week, and to have the opportunity to showcase opportunities by offering impartial information and advice on motor industry careers. And it is especially exciting that Bentley have agreed to be part of our webinar to give graduates further insight into their individual programmes and what they look for in graduate recruitments, particularly as its programme graduates are also joining us for the Q&A session. This will give inspirational real-life experiences of what it is really like to work in the industry.
“We want to ensure we are the industry of choice for the next generation of engineers, technicians, designers and many other vocations. From body repair to heavy vehicle engineering and leasing to renting, there are over 150 motor careers in the industry. Our aim is to attract the best and brightest young graduates and to show them there are an immense number of genuine career opportunities for a variety of skillsets. Who knows, some of those attending the webinar may well develop to be the industry leaders of tomorrow.
“With the growing focus on electric vehicles, zero emissions and connected driving technologies, it really is an exciting time to be joining the industry. We are very much looking forward to presenting this webinar and giving young people some inspiration and something to aim for while we live in these very challenging times.”
