Jaguar Land Rover announced that it aims to increase the number of ex-service men and women employed across its global operations to 1000 by 2020 - a five-fold increase in recruitment since 2013. This news came as the manufacturer welcomed the start of the 2016 Invictus Games in Orlando, Florida. The company has been Presenting Partner of the Invictus Games since the inaugural event in London in 2014 and has committed to continuing its support for the 2017 Games to be held in Toronto, Canada.
Jaguar Land Rover has a long and proud history of supporting the military and this announcement further supports the company's ambition to become the employer of choice for those leaving the armed forces. A significant step in realising its target is the introduction of a new programme to train and recruit up to 180 veterans across the company's North American retail network.
Ian Harnett, Executive Director of Human Resources at Jaguar Land Rover, said, "It is fitting that this announcement comes ahead of the Invictus Games, an inspirational event that demonstrates the resilience and dedication of those in the armed forces. I am immeasurably proud that through our company, and the Jaguar Land Rover Learning Academy, we have been able to give hundreds of ex-service personnel the opportunity to rebuild their lives and careers."
"As the U.K.'s largest automotive manufacturer and a growing global business, we have an obligation to advance the skills and capability of the industry, and in doing so, provide opportunities for passionate people to unleash their full potential. That is why we are making it our mission to see the number of people recruited into our business from the military increase significantly in the coming years," he added.
