IMI publishes skills manifesto

The Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) has published its manifesto aimed at addressing the skills gap within the sector.

It outlines sets out three key priorities for the professional body: to attract and recruit new talent, to retain and upskill existing talent, and to anticipate emerging skills.

Azlina Bulmer, Managing Director of the IMI, said, “Our manifesto outline makes very clear the critical role the IMI continues to play in supporting those who work in the sector. Retaining existing members of the workforce and empowering them with the right skills for the automotive technologies of today and for the future is a key concern.

“We also expect our members to hold us to account in representing their interests with government and other relevant stakeholders to ensure the right support and funding is provided from the top-down. As such, we recently wrote to Rt Hon Jonathan Reynolds, MP and Secretary of State for Business and Trade, to highlight the omission of automotive in the government’s Industrial Strategy green paper: Invest 2035: The UK’s Modern Industrial Strategy. The IMI will be responding to the green paper on behalf of our members and we are urging them to have their say in a forthcoming webinar.”
