The Skill Portal as Information System for the IMI - Coursework Example

This report has identified the uses and implementation of a Skills Portal that has been designed to bring stakeholders, employees, and trainees of the automotive sector to interact on a single networking platform. A PEST and interview data analysis have been done following a background study of the IMI’s history, objectives, and a broader mission to provide training, support, and service to the individuals and stakeholders of the automotive industry. Operations, value chain, and stakeholder analyses are also done and relations between the IMI and the government and other training providers as well as private organizations are studied to understand the primary role of the IMI in the automotive sector. This project conducts interviews with leading professionals in the sector and focuses on issues related to training and talent, lack of transparency, the need for an open and accessible information portal, ease of communication and networking, and the importance of training sessions, certifications, and awards that would help develop a skills base for the automotive sector. The Institute has set standards for professional qualifications within diverse areas as manufacturing, retailing, service, and allied activities and the IMI now faces one of the greatest challenges which is identifying the best and upgraded training services to potential employees and also raise awareness about the importance of enhancing skills and the benefits of working within the automotive sector. This sort of approach by the IMI is highly conducive to its development and the growth of the industry, thus the IMI plays a central role in changing the automotive retail sector. This project proves the IMI’s role in the transformation of the automotive sector especially through upgraded techniques and methods such as the development of a Skill Portal and advanced information system and networking facilities. These issues are highlighted in the subsequent part of this discussion.
