Q&A Interview: How Bosch UK is rising to the engineering skills challenge

In-Depth

Employers across industry face a series of challenges attracting and retaining the skilled engineers they need to compete. Martina McGrath, Director of Human Resources at Bosch UK explains how Bosch is addressing these challenges.

Technology is developing at a faster pace than before, necessitating the need to ensure our associates have the skills required to allow us to remain competitive in the marketplace.  At Bosch we have in place several programmes specifically designed to respond to this development. We are committed to continuously developing our associates, be that via upskilling, reskilling, reverse mentoring, so that their skills remain relevant throughout their time at Bosch. We are in an era where whole new job fields are emerging and evolving quite quickly, depending on the situation this can, at times, require us to hire new associates with the required skills for example data scientists. 

Reflecting on how subject areas and roles have changed over time it is clear that digitalisation has played a key role in this evolution, it is no longer necessary to manually transfer data in paper format to a software programme, a simple upload from one programme to another is usually all that is required.
