Future-centric upskilling | Jaguar Land Rover targets huge EV skills gap with 'thousands strong' L&D push

Car manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover is making huge strides in levelling up its learning and development to train its workforce for a ‘fully electrified future’.

The company recently announced 'significant progress' in training its workforce to adapt to the changing motoring landscape. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to ensure JLR employees are equipped to manufacture, sell, and service electric vehicles.

The 'Future Skills' program has already trained over 20,000 employees. This includes more than 2,400 manufacturing employees in UK production facilities, nearly 3,000 engineers, and over 95% of the brand’s partner technicians.

This comprehensive training ensures that retailers and workshops are well-prepared to service and repair the next generation of Jaguar and Land Rover-branded electric cars.
