The first-ever Automotive Work Experience Week (AWE), led by the School of Thought (Automotive), The Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI), and Autotech Academy, successfully ignited a critical conversation within the automotive sector. Held across one week in April, AWE aimed to address the pressing skills gap affecting the industry, which currently stands at almost 18,000. The initiative captured significant attention, generating over 8,000 visits to the School of Thought Automotive’s website during the week. While AWE served as a vehicle to promote work experience and encourage company participation, moving forward, it will become the Automotive Work Experience (AWE) Programme - a platform to highlight the importance of careers within the automotive industry. Providing young people with 'experiences of the workplace' also supports Gatsby Benchmark 6 which encapsulates the need for every student to have the opportunity for work experience by the age of 16 and an additional opportunity by age 18. #AutomotiveAftermarket #AftermarketNews #AutomotiveInEducation #AftermarketJobs

“This is an interesting period for us at Ford Otosan Craiova. It’s our first investment outside of Türkiye and we have invested around half a billion euros since last three years. We are trying to deliver what we have promised. The key for us is to make commitments and always deliver. We have been working on this. A couple of weeks ago we have started the battery assembly lines and hopefully soon we will start the production of electric vehicles in Romania by the end of this year. We have fulfilled our commitments to the authorities, investors and shareholders and the community, but we also share the disappointments and issues the industry is currently facing. We need to see some concrete steps from a legislative perspective, including the European Union. Agility and flexibility will be critical elements in going forward. We are lucky to have our own ICE engines, produced also in Romania, but we need more support from the authorities to move forward with these changes in the automotive industry,” Firat Elhuseyni, President, Ford Otosan Romania Craiova said during Automotive Forum 2024 organized by Automotive Today and The Diplomat-Bucharest. https://lnkd.in/deZAGdXR

Katsuaki Watanabe joined Toyota Motor Corporation in 1964. When he became the President and CEO of Toyota in 2005, he called his 41 years of working at Toyota as "apprenticeship" “There's no end to the process of learning about the Toyota Way. I don't think I have a complete understanding even today, and I have worked for the company for 43 years,” he said during an interview in 2007 To think replicating Toyota's success is about understanding the 5 principles, finding the 8 wastes, rolling out 5S, and using the 12 tools, is hubris magnified infinitely. #ceo #leadership #transformation #lean #thetoyotaway #value #valuestream #valuestreammanagement

𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐭: Determination goes beyond degrees—I saw it first-hand. During my time at Toyota Kirloskar Motor, I had the opportunity to work with Government Tool Room and Training Centre (GTTC) Apprentices who left a lasting impression on me. Selected from rural areas with minimal formal education, these individuals showed me that passion, humility, and dedication are far more valuable than any certification or degree. Despite facing language and background differences, they never hesitated to step up whenever needed. They didn’t let any barriers stand in their way—they simply wanted to support in any way they could. Their willingness to learn was so inspiring—it pushed me to grow too, and I’m not even exaggerating when I say that. Their eagerness to help, enthusiasm to learn, and the positive energy they brought to every task were truly motivating. Toyota Kirloskar Motor’s initiative to provide real-world exposure to these apprentices is commendable. They have turned what others might see as a lack of formal education into a strength by cultivating a strong learning mindset and humility. Thank you, Toyota Kirloskar Motor, and a special thanks to Dr. Jagadish B, General Manager of Toyota Learning and Development India, for nurturing such incredible talent and offering them opportunities to grow and contribute. Have you seen similar initiatives at your organization? How has it impacted the work culture? #Appreciation #LearningJourney #GTTC #CareerGrowth #ToyotaKirloskarMotor

Patience in Progress: Great Things Take Time "When things do not happen right away, just remember it takes 6 months to build a Rolls-Royce and 13 hours to build a Toyota." In a bustling workshop, two apprentices started their training. Both were passionate about cars, but one dreamed of building luxurious cars like Rolls-Royce, while the other wanted to work in a fast-paced factory. The first apprentice spent his days carefully crafting each detail, understanding that a high-quality car requires patience and precision. He would polish, fit, and refine each part until it was perfect, knowing that the result would be nothing short of exceptional. Meanwhile, the second apprentice joined a factory line where speed was the priority. He built cars quickly, finishing one every few hours. While he was proud of his work, he often glanced at his friend’s workshop, wondering why someone would take so long to build just one car. Years later, the first apprentice became a renowned craftsman known for his exquisite, one-of-a-kind cars. The second apprentice, though successful, realized that some dreams and achievements simply require more time and dedication to create something extraordinary. This story reminds us that when goals feel far away or progress seems slow, it is often because we are building something great. Good things may happen fast, but exceptional things take time. So, if you are working on a goal that seems to be moving slowly, do not rush. Stay patient, trust the process, and remember that quality and success are worth the wait. #Motivation #Patience #QualityOverSpeed
