Jaguar Land Rover Announces Recruitment for 4th Cohort of Maintenance Personnel Training Program

[Asia Economy Reporter Suyeon Woo] Jaguar Land Rover Korea announced on the 2nd that it is recruiting the 4th batch of trainees for the 'Global Technical Apprentice Program,' a professional workforce development program with excellent automotive maintenance skills.

The Jaguar Land Rover Global Technical Apprentice Program is a global standard talent development system developed directly by Jaguar Land Rover's UK headquarters, aimed at nurturing outstanding maintenance personnel. Introduced in Korea in 2017, it not only spreads Jaguar Land Rover Korea's advanced maintenance know-how but also connects practical employment through theoretical education and on-site training courses.

Due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, Jaguar Land Rover Korea is expanding the number of trainees for the 4th course to 20, which is 1.5 times more than last year, to create youth jobs amid the economic downturn. Recruitment will continue until June, and the full-scale program is scheduled to begin in July.

The 4th training course will be held at the company's dedicated training facility, the 'Global Technical Apprentice Training Center,' which opened in February this year as the first in the imported car industry. Located at Doowon Technical University, the training center is equipped with essential teaching materials and special equipment, including Land Rover's Range Rover Evoque and Discovery, Jaguar's XF, all featuring the latest technology to enhance trainees' maintenance skills.

Selected students will complete a 12-month structured curriculum consisting of maintenance theory learning and retailer on-site training. The curriculum is composed of four categories?service and maintenance, chassis, electrical principles, engine and transmission?covering 18 courses.

Through the Global Technical Apprentice Program, Jaguar Land Rover Korea has produced 20 certified technicians by 2018, and 11 trainees selected in 2019 are currently undergoing the training course. All graduates of the program are employed full-time at official Jaguar Land Rover retailers.

Additionally, Jaguar Land Rover Korea signed industry-academic cooperation agreements in 2019 with Doowon Technical University and Ajou Automobile College to foster talent. They have donated vehicles such as Land Rover's Range Rover Sport and Jaguar F-PACE for education and research purposes and have continuously supported necessary equipment and special tools for training.
