Why Workforce Development Matters in 2026

The automotive sector continues to face major change, from electrification to evolving customer expectations.

Workshops are investing in training to:

  • Improve productivity and reduce bottlenecks
  • Build EV and hybrid readiness
  • Strengthen diagnostic and technical capability
  • Develop future supervisors and leaders
  • Reduce reliance on expensive recruitment

Yet many employers still struggle to align skills needs, funding and workforce planning.

That’s where we help.

Don't Let Your 2026 Levy Go To Waste

Remit Training - New Year New Budget - Auto

Every year, significant amounts of apprenticeship levy funding go unused, often because employers don’t have a clear view of what’s available.

Whether you’re levy-paying or not, there are often funded or cost-effective training routes available for automotive development.

Our Automotive Levy Checklist helps you understand:

  • What to review monthly and quarterly
  • How to spot unused or unallocated funding
  • Which automotive pathways commonly align with levy use
  • Options available for non-levy-paying employers

Turn Your Levy Into Workforce Strength

For automotive employers, the Apprenticeship Levy is more than a funding pot, it’s a practical way to tackle skills shortages, improve workshop performance, and prepare for EV and advanced technology. When aligned with workforce development, levy investment helps retain technicians, reduce reliance on costly recruitment, and build the skills your workshop needs for the future. The real value comes from using your levy strategically, not just using it.

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.
