LOOKERS is on a fresh nationwide hunt to fill 208 newly-created aftersales apprenticeship roles this year as part of company-wide plans to develop a new generation of skills and talent.
The 2022 recruitment drive represents Lookers’ largest annual intake of apprentices to date and is designed to kick-start new and exciting careers for ambitious young people with one of the UK’s top motoring groups.
Offering an opportunity to work with some of the world’s biggest motoring brands including Jaguar Land Rover, Audi and BMW, a successful apprenticeship with Lookers also promises training in an all-electric driving future and a rewarding long-term career.
Lookers has a long and established reputation for nurturing talent and supporting young recruits to build lifelong careers with the industry and this latest drive unlocks a wide range of opportunities for candidates in every region keen to upskill in vehicle maintenance, servicing and in parts advice.
Launching the initiative as part of National Apprenticeship Week, Suzanne Sherry, Lookers’ newly-appointed Group Apprenticeship AND Early Careers Programme Manager, said now was the best time to get involved:
“The motoring industry is in the throes of an exciting digital and electrical transformation that will change the way we live and drive forever and its future success will need a new breed of technical experts who are equipped with the right skills and talent to take it forward. We want even more young people to be part of the journey.
“We’ve been investing in award-winning talent, skills and training for decades, sparking careers and opening opportunities in every area of our business. I’m delighted that for 2022, we’re embarking on our largest apprenticeship programme yet.
“This year, we’re focusing on challenging gender stereotypes within the industry to encourage even more female apprentices to join our growing ranks while nurturing all talent and enthusiasm when we see it.”
Lookers’ apprenticeship programme is a priority for the business and each year millions of pounds are invested in training and support. Since 2017, Lookers has steered the careers of almost 1,000 apprentices in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
This year, new apprentices will benefit from even bigger incentives to get on board with Lookers, with the opportunity to obtain additional, focused support and continuous advice from dedicated mentors.
In addition, new recruits will get instant access to Lookers’ health and wellbeing platform SMART Health which provides 24/7 advice including GP access, nutritional advice and mental health support.
