Get nominating

In the run-up to Christmas, it’s a great time to celebrate the achievements of students starting out in their automotive careers, so we’d love to get your nomination for the IMI Award for Full-Time Student of the Year.

We’re looking for students who’ve made a positive impact through creativity and innovation, their proactive approach to self-development, going above and beyond what is expected and overcoming challenges. If that’s you, or someone you know, show your recognition by nominating them today.

Whether you’re a student, apprentice or long-serving member of the IMI family, we’re standing by. If you have any career or skills questions, get in touch and we’ll find the answers for you. Call +44 (0)1992 519025, or send an email to hello@theimi.org.uk. 
   
With my very best wishes
