“Engaging and supporting diverse talent in the pursuit of challenging and rewarding careers in the automotive industry is critical to our long-term strategy and evolution to a mobility tech company,” said Lottie Holland, Vice President of Diversity, Inclusion, Engagement and EEO Compliance, in a statement.
Holland continued, noting that their Indigenous employees and the Indigenous Cultural Opportunity Network business resource group “are strong role models promoting the vast opportunities available to the talented Indigenous students who will benefit from these scholarships.”
