North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire College (NWSLC) has successfully delivered a bespoke training programme to over 1,000 Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) employees, aimed at addressing the skills gap in electric vehicle (EV) technology. This initiative supports JLR’s Reimagine Strategy, which aims to achieve carbon net zero by 2039.
The training programme focuses on transitioning automotive technicians from internal combustion engines to electric vehicle systems, providing a practical, hands-on approach. The programme is part of NWSLC’s broader strategy to collaborate with industry leaders to offer tailored apprenticeships, placements, and training that address specific business needs.
Following completion of the fundamental course at NWSLC’s MIRA Technology Institute in Nuneaton, JLR employees have the opportunity to advance their skills further through intermediate and advanced programmes offered by Coventry University, depending on their specific role and upskilling needs.
This collaboration highlights the growing importance of education and industry partnerships in meeting the evolving demands of the automotive sector, especially as companies like JLR accelerate their move towards electrification.
