Enterprise has again committed to a levy transfer enabling its approved repairer network to apply for a funding grant towards the costs of training and assessing apprentices.
The initiative, administered by AutoRaise, was one of the first to be set up in the industry and sees Enterprise continue with its commitment in supporting apprentices by transferring some of its unspent apprenticeship levy.
Nick Sweetman, Managing Director of EHI said, “We are delighted to be able to support our network with this important initiative and help invest in the future talent of the vehicle repair industry.”
Jen Evans, AutoRaise Business Executive said, “Enterprise were one of the first to market with this brilliant initiative a few years ago and as they are an existing partner, I am delighted to add our support and assistance to the programme again.
“We recognise previous challenges but have now come up with a streamlined process to make it both easier for young people to join our amazing industry and equally better for repairers.”
This latest pledge to fund apprentices follows Enterprise’s continued commitment to the apprenticeship programme and support of AutoRaise.
AutoRaise Vice Chair, Steve Thompson said, “I am so pleased with how Enterprise acknowledge the need to attract young people in order for the continued repair of their own fleet of vehicles, it really is commendable.”
Enterprise has put social mobility at the core of its approach to emerging talent, supporting individuals from a diverse range of backgrounds. Focusing on social mobility in the UK ensures the new pledge also supports Enterprise’s overall commitment to social mobility and everyday inclusion.
