Engineering Apprentice

Craftsmen and women employed in engineering manufacture apply a wide range of skills and knowledge to their work, with the minimum of direction and supervision. Their ability to eventually read engineering drawings and interpret instructions enables them to convert ideas and designs into products. They plan the order in which the operations are carried out, set up all the necessary equipment and produce work accurately and efficiently.

In your first year, you will attend a local training centre on a part time basis, controlled by fully trained instructors. During this period the Apprentice will learn various aspects of engineering principles and practices, which may include Welding & Fabrication, Fitting, Turning, Milling, Electrical/Electronics, Computers. The remainder of  your working week will be spent at our Training Academy at our site in Redruth.

This will be followed by in-company training, when you will be encouraged to learn all the skills necessary to become a fully skilled Craftsperson. You will record your working experiences in a Log Book which will become a permanent record of your achievements.
