Cap HPI has launched its own automotive apprenticeship scheme to support emerging automotive talent and mark the start of National Apprenticeship Week (March 5-9).

The scheme has already recruited four new apprentices, which will initially work in the software department and could be offered full-time positions at the completion of their apprenticeship period.

Apprentices Wesley Spellman, Holly Anusic, Zahid Rahman and Alex Maughan, are aged between 18 and 23. 

Maughan said: “I’m looking forward to working with a great team, where our data keeps motorists safe when they buy or sell a car. Everyone has been really supportive, and I’m looking forward to getting stuck in.”

Cap HPI’s head of human resources, Amanda Hardcastle, said: “As a growing international business we are constantly looking to recruit and retain the best talent our region has to offer.

"The new apprenticeship scheme aims to inspire the next generation of talent that will support our growth in the UK, and overseas.” 

Cap HPI is currently recruiting for 30 vacancies spanning web developers to data analysts and customer-facing roles, and looks to recruit 10 new apprentices annually.
