AutoRaise flying the flag for industry’s skills shortages

AutoRaise is set to publish the Charity’s Impact Statement and Report in the coming weeks, providing a clear focus for the road ahead including details of its activity planned for National Apprenticeship Week. The charity will also launch its new website.

Having restructured the charity financially and organisationally, AutoRaise is ready for 2021 and feels it has never been better placed to the industry and young people work together to create a sustainable future.

Dave Sargeant, AutoRaise Chairman, said, “Throughout the pandemic, the charity has always been respectful to the sector around shouting about apprentice recruitment, but the reality is, like in my own business, that we still have to look forward and plan for the future.

“The average age of a technician isn’t going to decrease and training young people remain the only solution. This is why we have remained busy behind the scenes, preparing for when the country’s confidence starts to build again, and we see the gradual lifting of restrictions.

“We hope the whole industry will follow our press releases and social media posts as we continue to highlight the importance of young people in the industry.”

This year’s National Apprenticeship Week takes place during week beginning Monday 8 February and sees all sectors in British industry showcase how apprenticeships have helped employers and people of all ages and backgrounds.

Steve Thompson, AutoRaise Vice Chairman explained, “Through the work we have carried over the last few years, we know there has been a positive impact to repairers, young people, insurers and work providers, training organisations and other industry stakeholders.

“In the long term, our role will be more and more vital as we continue to get the industry behind us and during this important week, we are proud to highlight the achievements and successes of apprentices that are working in the industry at the moment.”

AutoRaise is looking to extend reach and engage with more and more businesses in the industry. If you would like to find out more contact AutoRaise business support executive Jen Evans.
