The automotive industry is full of innovation, technology, and exciting career opportunities—but many young people, parents, and educators still hold outdated perceptions. There’s a belief that the industry offers little career progression, lacks security, and has limited opportunities beyond traditional hands-on roles. School of Thought Automotive exists to change that.
‍
We are committed to inspiring, educating, and connecting the next generation with the vast opportunities within the automotive sector. By working closely with businesses, schools, and industry leaders, we are breaking down barriers, challenging misconceptions, and ensuring that young people see automotive as a dynamic and rewarding career choice.
‍‍
One of the biggest challenges the industry faces today is a growing skills gap and an ageing workforce. Without new talent, the future of automotive is at risk.
‍
Our goal is to:
‍
• Engage with young people to showcase the wide range of careers available.
• Support businesses in attracting and developing the next generation of talent.
• Bridge the skills gap by connecting education with industry.
‍
