Autocar and Ennis & Co have launched a new initiative to attract fresh talent to the automotive sector in a bid to highlight the exciting employment opportunities available in the industry as it undergoes a period of unprecedented change, driven by the drive towards electrification, autonomy and digitalisation.
The Drivers of Change competition is seeking to identify and promote the best talents from across three areas: technology, digital and retail. Applicants must either apply from outside the automotive industry, or work in a different automotive discipline to the one which they are applying to enter the competition.
Steve Cropley, Autocar's editor-in-chief, said: "With the automotive industry changing so rapidly and in so many exciting ways, there has never been a better time for fresh talent with new ideas and different ways of working to break through and make a difference.
"Applicants might be coming out of university or they might be a couple of roles into their careers; there's no upper age limit, just a desire to hear from anyone who has an ability to look at problems from fresh angles and create opportunities from them."
The winner in each of the three Drivers of Change categories will take home [pounds sterling]5000 in prize money as well as the chance to network with representatives from key sponsors, revealed at this year's Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders' (SMMT) Annual Dinner this evening.
Drivers of Change is sponsored by the Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC), Allianz Partners, Bentley, CitNOW, HORIBA MIRA, Jardine Motors Group, JATO, Lotus, McLaren...
