JLR on track to prepare workforce for electrification

JLR has met a significant milestone in upskilling 20,000 colleagues and partners in electrification and digital skills as part of its Future Skills Programme.

More than 2,400 manufacturing employees in its UK production facilities have been trained in EV skills to date with another 11,000 scheduled to receive training in addition to more than 95%, or 10,000, of JLR’s retail partner technicians, ensuring workshops are prepared to service JLR’s next generation electric vehicles.

That is in addition to nearly 3,000 engineers trained in electrification and around 2,500 in data and digital. Further, more than 4,200 JLR and retail partner apprentices and Early Careers employees are also currently undergoing training.
