IMI launches awards scheme for skills
The Institute for the Motor Industry has launched SkillMiles, an awards scheme that give points for supporting training.
The new scheme recognises both financial, time and effort to support training. Businesses can gain four levels of recognition: bronze, silver, gold and platinum.
Once a business or individual is registered via the scheme’s web-site (www.motor.org.uk/skillmiles) they can earn SkillMiles points for particular activities, which are given a value by the IMI, such as participation on working groups or loan of equipment, for example, as well as financial donations.
The IMI said the SkillMiles scheme will demonstrate to the Government that employers and individuals in the automotive retail industry are making valuable contributions to skills development.
The initiative will run alongside the IMI’s ongoing 'proud to be professional' campaign, which promotes the importance of best practice and ethical behaviour in improving the reputation of the industry to consumers.
