Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) reaffirming its commitment to the development of excellence and Engineering. The memorandum outlines the ways in which the two organisations will work together to ensure that JLR engineers remain global leaders in their field with the skills, knowledge and expertise to drive the business forward.
 This MoU builds on a long standing relationship with IMechE and reflects the need for the UK to maintain its engineering pedigree. To support this JLR and the IMechE have outlined some 'principles of cooperation' to aid the development of Professional Engineers.
The IMechE will deliver tailored training and technical programmes furthering the skills and technical capabilities of JLR engineers. Concurrently, JLR will support its engineers within appropriate disciplines to undertake programmes of Continuous Professional Development (CPD).
The memorandum was signed by Bob Joyce, group engineering director CEng FIMechE and Stephen Tetlow, chief executive of the IMechE. Joyce says: "As a fellow of the institution, I am passionate about the development of Engineering talent. I'm really pleased to be able to sign the MoU with the IMechE to enhance our work together. Continued up-skilling of existing engineers will enable development of new technical skills for future technology innovation and the use of new scientific and technological solutions to improve the performance and efficiency of our cars and manufacturing processes."
JLR is the leading premium automotive business in the UK, built around two great British car brands that design, engineer and manufacture in the UK. JLR is led by advanced design, engineering and technology, investing £1.5 billion per annum on product creation over the next five years. To achieve these ambitious plans, JLR employs a world class team of over 4,000 engineers and designers.
JLR is committed to enhancing the skills embedded in its current engineering workforce and has developed a Technical Accreditation Scheme, which covers a number of highly relevant technical courses to meet the skills required for the next decade covering a whole range of low carbon, infotainment and next generation electronics and powertrain technologies.
