Remit Training - Act Now. Solve the Technician Shortage

The Impact on the Industry

For many automotive employers, the skills gap is starting to hit hard. Workshops are relying on a shrinking pool of experienced staff.  

This adds pressure to stay compliant with modern systems like EV and hydrogen technologies, all while keeping operations running smoothly. 

If unaddressed, service capacity will fall, lead times will lengthen, and customer satisfaction will suffer. But with the right workforce strategy, employers can reverse the trend and future-proof their business for the next decade.

Why we chose Remit? Automotive is the core for Remit..it’s also their ability to change. The automotive industry is changing massively and it’s changing quicker and quicker and Remit have that ability to change and it’s driven all the way through. We’ve worked with the Scottish arm of the business for some years now and we’ve found that relationship to be really productive so my thoughts would be that would spread across the business, and my thoughts would be correct.
