Triumph has announced it is to participate in a government-funded scheme and will take on 12 apprentice technicians.
As part of the three-year course, each apprentice will spend about six weeks at Triumph's purpose-built training workshops, with the rest of the programme undertaken at their respective dealerships.
Successful participants will be Automotive Technician Accredited (ATA) with a City and Guilds qualification in Motor Vehicle Engineering. The course gives young technicians a grounding in technology, enables them to diagnose and repair problems and become familiar with key financial management and legal principles.
Rick Cawley, UK general manager at Triumph, said: "As one of the most well-known names in motorcycling we recognise the importance of supporting our dealerships and growing new talent. Our apprenticeship programme will give young technicians the best of both worlds, allowing them to earn money while gaining vital qualifications.
"We feel this new scheme will go a long way to securing the future of the industry, with key skills preserved in the next generation of technicians."
The government-funded scheme is recruiting now, with the first intake due to start in November.
