UK CURRICULUM & LEARNING
...Preparing for the future
Over the past five years, JLR has employed more than 20,000 people, taking its workforce to almost 40,000, and invested more than £12 billion in capital expenditure and developing new products. As the UK’s leading investor in automotive research and development, it is committed to encouraging young people to become the next generation of engineers and technologists.
The Royal Academy of Engineering predicts that the UK will face a shortfall of 200,000 qualified engineers by 2020. JLR is working with government and other agencies to address this. It is also training and building the skills of young people, new recruits, and its existing workforce. In collaboration with schools and colleges, the
firm’s Inspiring Tomorrow’s Engineers (ITE) programme promotes learning and engagement in STEM subjects, to encourage young people to consider careers in engineering and manufacturing. Key elements of the programme include dedicated education centres in areas close to JLR facilities, imaginative projects for school pupils, and a wide variety of work experience opportunities.
The ITE programme won Business in the Community’s (BITC) national education award in 2013, in recognition of the positive impact its long-term school partnerships were having on increasing employability skills and promoting engineering careers.
These initiatives are complemented by a range of opportunities for older students, such as apprenticeship programmes, graduate training schemes, and partnerships with universities and colleges. Said JLR’s engineering director, Nick Rogers, “We firmly believe that our future prosperity lies in innovation, engineering and the application of science. We are also convinced they play a crucial role in the UK’s global competitiveness. “We work with more than 40 academic institutions, as well as with government, in the pursuit of new scientific and technological solutions to improve the performance and efficiency of our cars and manufacturing processes. “It is critical to us that the UK maintains a strong focus on the teaching and nurturing of science. I believe the challenges the car industry faces over the next
