BMW Group requires 160 young people with a passion for
the motor industry to take up apprenticeships available through its company and
dealership schemes in 2014.
The new
recruits will join over 400 existing apprentices currently undergoing training
across the company's UK operations. Some
will rise beyond NVQ to degree qualifications.
Within
its Mini UK production network, the business is looking for 49 new apprentices
to take up places in August as the plants ramp up production of the next model
generation. In addition, BMW and Mini dealerships need to recruit around 110
young people across the UK.
Mini
Plant Oxford has 31 places available from finance and logistics to engineering
and IT. Technical apprentices will attend Plant Oxford's new bespoke training
school, featuring state-of-the-art classrooms, dedicated computer study areas
and a fully-equipped workshop.
