Jaguar Land Rover workers taking voluntary redundancy are being offered access to a £500,000 support fund in the West Midlands, after the carmaker confirmed plans to cut around 4,000 jobs worldwide over the next two years. The package is aimed at helping affected staff find new roles and retrain as JLR presses ahead with a major restructuring.

West Midlands Mayor Richard Parker announced the package on 7 September. The support will help workers find new jobs and strengthen skills that can transfer to other employers.
