Apprenticeships - which could cover supply chain transport planning - have been highlighted as possible paths for school leavers.
Rob Foulston is the chief executive of the training division of the Retail Motor Industry Federation (RMIF), Remit and explained many students who receive their A-level or GCSE results in the coming weeks may be considering what to do next.
He explained young adults looking for a varied and interesting career should consider applying for an apprenticeship in the industry.
Although the media focuses on the role of service technicians, there are many other options available, noted Mr Foulston, including vehicle body repairers, parts consultants, sales advisors, administrators and tyre fitters.
“The motor industry offers a far greater range of career options than many young people realise,” stated Mr Foulston.
From day one, apprentices are fully employed and are able to work towards nationally recognised qualifications, while also getting paid.
The RMIF is the trade association for the retail motor sector.
