It was a privilege to provide a written submission to the House of Lords Industry and Regulators Committee about the skills shortages and training needs of the automotive and mobility industry. The select committee is conducting a general inquiry into UK skills policy, with a focus on apprenticeships and training, and has been receiving written and oral submissions from industry bodies, businesses and academics. As automotive executive search and talent research specialists, I welcomed the opportunity for Ennis & Co Group to provide insights on the specific skills challenges being faced by automotive and mobility organisations, based on what we have learned from recent research projects and 15 years of industry engagement. Skills shortages are the biggest operational challenge facing businesses in the sector, and learning & development offers a clear pathway to attract and retain talent. But this requires investment, as well as commitment at board level.

📢 Commenting on today's release of Level 3 qualification results, Baker Dearing Educational Trust deputy chief executive Kate Ambrosi said: "Congratulations to all the young people receiving their results today. I hope they allow you to progress onto your preferred destination. "I would like to thank the hard-working teachers, leaders, governors and staff, who work tirelessly to help their students achieve those destinations. "UTC students across the country will be progressing from A Levels, T Levels, BTECs and other technical courses onto apprenticeships, degree courses and training opportunities before taking roles in key industrial sectors. "As an addition to our other routes, T Levels have been a great fit for UTCs. Students not only benefit but actively enjoy the industry placement, which gives them hands-on experience with the workplace. "We expect to see a sizeable proportion of UTC leavers progressing from T Levels to apprenticeships, including at degree level, after today. "Qualifications such as T Levels are a vital way in which UTCs break down the barriers to opportunity." #thinkUTC #Level3Results #ALevelResults #TLevelResults

On 17/04, I attended the ‘Unleashing Potential: BT Group x The Black Apprentice Network (BAN) Virtual Launch’ which included Rubin, Elijah, Sophie, Faidah, Joanna, Esmeralda, Zara, Ian and Lamar. One of my various key takeaway from this event is that a major aim is to ‘create a level playing field for all aspiring apprenticeship’. I admire the BT apprenticeship team since they focus more on ‘nurturing talent and pushing you onto the greatness you will achieve’. I learnt that you should be yourself, you shouldn’t try to be someone that you’re not and it’s also important to neither over nor undersell yourself. ‘Everyone has the capacity to be a strong apprentice if they demonstrate their skills’. It’s also important to genuinely have an interest in the company which you are willing to work with. This is something that is better to evaluate before your admission, to prevent you from finding out your values don’t correspond with the company when you’ve already started working there, or in case you don’t enjoy the work culture at that specific company.
