Bosch Mobility Aftermarket has pledged to push ahead with training future generations of the auto industry as the UK launched this year’s National Apprenticeship Week (NAW).
The Department of Education said the theme of NAW 2025, which began today, is Skills for Life.
Bosch’s Automotive Apprenticeship programme takes three years to complete and is delivered through a series of 17 training blocks at one of the three Bosch Service Training facilities. These are at the company’s UK headquarters in Denham, Doncaster and Motherwell in Scotland.
Apprentices are in paid employment at a local independent workshop alongside their practical studies. Among the topics covered by the course are electric vehicle technology and the use of diagnostic tools to repair and maintain the latest vehicle technologies.
Sales director of Bosch Mobility Aftermarket UK, Kevin Kelly, said: “We’re proud of our Automotive Apprenticeship programme and it’s going from strength to strength. Bosch has long been known as a leading supplier of parts and diagnostics and we’re now becoming a leading business in training too with more than 300 apprentices learning at our centres each year.
“Our Automotive Apprenticeships have industry-leading content and it’s satisfying for all of us to see the number of people taking on the apprenticeships continuing to grow. The UK has a significant skills shortage in the automotive industry and we’re doing all we can to help plug that gap.”
After completing their apprenticeships, graduates receive the following qualifications:
Bosch Mobility Aftermarket will be exhibiting its latest technology at the Automechanika Birmingham show at the National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham in June.
The company will also take part in Motorvate, the new not-for-profit event that will run alongside the show to help tackle the UK automotive industry’s skills shortage.
