'Grow your own' says ReMIT

'Grow Your Own' is the staffing message motor sector trainer ReMIT (the training arm of the Retail Motor Industry Federation) is sending out to vehicle body repair businesses in a new publication, as the organisation promotes body repair industry apprenticeships.

Stephen Ramsay, ReMIT managing director, says: “Apprenticeships are good for young people, as well as the businesses that take them on. The apprentice develops skills and abilities that will last a lifetime, and the business gets to train a member of staff in the way they want, while at the same time see that young person make a real and important contribution.”

ReMIT has just published 'The Body Repair Business,' a guide for vehicle body repairers looking to take on an apprentice.

The leaflet provides information on apprenticeships, and details benefits that an apprentice can provide to a business.
