The Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) has welcomed government plans to increase the hourly rate paid to apprentices under 20 by 57p an hour, an increase of 20%.
IMI CEO Steve Nash also called on employers in the motor industry to increase the starting rate for junior apprentices to £4 hour, a 70% rise on the current rate, to help the industry attract the top talent it needs.
