About the Programme

This four-year programme is structured to get the very best out of you. Year one will see you in college full time, split between the classroom and the workshop as you learn the fundamentals. Year two and three will be on-site four days a week, with one day in college to study for your Engineering HNC. Year four will be based in the workplace full time working alongside time served professionals as a key member of the team.

We have 3 different types of Engineering Apprenticeships available across these two sites. Electrical Engineer, Mechanical Engineer and Electrical Instrument and Controls Engineer so there is something for everyone! Our Engineering apprenticeships are an exciting, blended learning approach of in-college and on-the-job right at the heart of an enormous global manufacturing operation where you will get the chance to work on industry leading technology and, of course, help us shape the future! We take this seriously, so we’ll take your future seriously.
