Levy-funded AI apprenticeships for Coventry employers. 100% funded through the Apprenticeship Levy or 95% co-funded for SMEs.
Coventry is the epicentre of the UK's automotive transformation. Jaguar Land Rover, London Taxi Company, and hundreds of automotive suppliers are pioneering electric vehicle technology, autonomous driving systems, and connected car capabilities. Coventry University and the Warwick Manufacturing Group are world-leading centres of advanced engineering research.
The region is also strengthening in healthcare, with University Hospital Coventry playing a central role in NHS innovation. Yet this rapid shift towards electrification and AI-powered manufacturing has created a skills crisis.
