Skills Provision

Assessing Learning and Training Provision Serving the Automotive Industry

A detailed analysis of the learning provision currently available to meet the skills priorities of the UK’s automotive manufacturing sector was commissioned by the Automotive Industrial Partnership.  It reveals that skills shortages are most likely to impact on manufacturing and engineering job roles and there is a need for more specialised automotive tailored solutions, including apprenticeships.

Some specific LEP areas with significant automotive employment lag behind other areas in meeting local employer skills demand, underlining the importance of coordinated intervention to address shortfalls.
