Castrol partners with the IMI and ProVQ to help with recruitment and skills development

Castrol and The Race Group, have launched two new recruitment and skills development initiatives in partnership with the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) and ProVQ, an IMI-accredited training provider. 

Through the new partnership with the IMI, workshops that are part of the Castrol Service Network can now feature their job vacancies as ‘Castrol Featured Jobs’ on the IMI's popular ‘find a job’ webpage, which attracts tens of thousands of monthly users. Company branding and logos are shown alongside the listings for enhanced visibility. 

To list a job, workshops must submit a detailed job description, including location, salary information, benefits and application details directly to the IMI. The listing is then uploaded within 24 hours. 

Castrol and The Race Group are also partnering with ProVQ, an independent, IMI accredited training provider offering high-quality apprenticeship training to students within the Castrol Service Network. The goal is also to reduce the recruitment burden for businesses within the Castrol Service network by pairing them with capable apprentices. The scheme will include high-quality training and assistance with applications for government funding. The first student cohort is scheduled to start in September 2025.
