Automotive skills remains key challenge – Apprentice Central
An Enterprise Rent-A-Car survey has revealed that over half of respondents say attracting new talent is the key automotive skills challenge.
Apprenticeships offer businesses a long-term solution, but given the diverse career options available to young people today, finding the right talent can be challenging.
Apprenticeship Central has been established to help bodyshops connect with young people and future-proof their workforces.
As part of its Recruit programme, it runs a multi-channel recruitment campaign which captures well performing students ready to enter the automotive industry. This comprehensive process does the legwork and presents the bodyshop with qualified, vetted candidates.
Commercial director, Eleanor Baker Barnes, said:
“Our Recruit service is specially designed to take away the time and energy that bodyshops have to spend sourcing good talent. We provide a bespoke solution that delivers qualified candidates and we’re excited about supporting businesses in 2025.”
