IMI TO DEBUNK "OUTDATED PERCEPTIONS" WITH AUTOMOTIVE CAREER CAMPAIGN

The professional body said the automotive sector is facing a 20 year high in vacancies and so this new campaign has been put together to debunk the outdated perceptions that are at the heart of the recruitment challenges.

Central to the campaign will be real voices telling real stories about their positive career experiences.

There is an urgent need to encourage more people to think about a career in automotive, with IMI data suggesting 111,400 roles need to be filled in the next 10 years.

Over 200 Occupations Across The Sector

There are currently 218 occupations across the sector, with technological advances –from Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and electric to connected motoring and online sales - creating opportunities that go far beyond traditional perceptions of working in automotive.
