Toyota Armed Forces Engagement pilot program success

If you have been following MA this past year, you will be more than aware that Toyota GB engaged with Mission Automotive for their first Armed Forces Engagement Program...

The increasing demand on dealership networks for competent technicians shows no slowing down and with 15,000 service personnel leaving the Armed Forces each year, Toyota GB saw an opportunity. Fast forward to January 2020 and the first cohort of 7 candidates successfully completed the Toyota Level 2 Technician course at the Toyota Academy in Burnaston Derbyshire.

All 7 are in full time employment and have been noted to be an incredibly valuable asset to the business, with not just high levels of technical and logical competence, but also their ability to engage with customers with real emotional intelligence and knowledge.

The MM team helping deliver the Mission Automotive initiative remains engaged with each candidate and the dealerships to provide ongoing support as and where needed on a personal level. Service Leavers and veterans are highly motivated individuals and we are incredibly proud to have been part of their transition story.
