Engineering Apprenticeships (Apprenticeship Course)
- Graig Campus
The Engineering Apprenticeship has a number of options, including, Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Maintenance Engineering, Multiskilling, Toolroom, Design, Technical and Fabrication & Welding.
An Apprenticeship is a work based learning programme at level 3 where the learner is “earning while learning”. The programme is ideally suited to employees who have some element of responsibility within their job role. The Apprentice will be employed and receive at least the minimum apprenticeship wage, attending college on a day release basis.
Unemployed applicants will be directed to further education training courses to help prepare them for an apprenticeship, until they find employment and are offered an apprentice place.
