Making, Selling, Repairing Vehicles
Making, selling and repairing cars, motorcycles and lorries is an important part of the UK economy. 800,000 people have jobs in this sector. The retail side of the industry (everything but making cars) is worth about £24 billion by itself.
There are lots of different jobs in the industry, but NYA focuses on training motor vehicle technicians … mechanics. Mechanics maintain and repair cars, motorcycles, vans, lorries and other vehicles, such as buses and coaches.
