The luxury car manufacturer will recruit a total of 112 trainees in 2021.
The future talent will consist of apprentices, undergraduates and graduates, all joining the British car brand. The successful individuals will take up positions in departments such as engineering, production, project management and health and safety.
The largest intake will be in digital and technology, accounting for approximately a third of the total number of trainees, as Bentley focuses on candidates with the required skillset to help shape the company’s Beyond100 strategy.
Astrid Fontaine, member of the board for people, digitalisation and IT, commented: “Bentley Motors is committed to continuing its focus on engaging only the finest talent, and this year will be recruiting more new trainees to its future talent programme than ever before. In the rapidly changing world of automotive, mobility and services, we will invest further in digital experiences that already exist as part of the programme. These will be vital in transforming Bentley’s entire operations to lead sustainable luxury mobility into the future.”
Bentley’s future is underpinned by ambitious targets set out in last year’s Beyond100 strategy. The company plans to become a global leader in sustainable luxury mobility, reinventing every aspect of its business. This includes becoming end-to-end carbon neutral by 2030, and moving to full electrification through its full model range in the same timeframe.
To help design and build these Bentleys of the future, the company will focus on greater diversity, upskilling in some areas and attracting a wide range of the best talent from all walks of life, including digital innovators and creative thinkers.
In January, Bentley was again recognised for the tenth consecutive year as a top employer by the internationally-acclaimed Top Employers Institute – the only car brand to feature on the elite list.
The institute recognises employers globally who make every effort to continuously improve colleague experiences through digital transformation, enhance recruitment processes, as well as nurturing and developing talent.
