Engineering Apprenticeship
Engineers design and build the things
that make our world go round. Everything, from aeroplanes to
buildings, comes back to engineering. This hugely diverse field can
be divided into seven sub-categories: aerospace, automotive,
metals, electrical equipment, electronics, marine maintenance, and
mechanical engineering. This Apprenticeship covers a range of job
roles in these sub-sectors.
On this Apprenticeship, the sort
of work you'll be doing will depend on your employer. Generally,
engineering apprentices will learn to take on a craft or
technician role in a certain area of engineering. This could
involve anything from assembling car engines to installing
telecommunications systems.
Through the Advanced Apprenticeship you
can become either a skilled craftsperson (skilled in practical
trades, like fitting or machining) or a technician (involved in
technical matters and problem-solving).
