Familiarisation with the WCW Group products, how the business works and the various partners within the Group
A grounding in Engineering Design (apprentice course, engineering mentor and company technical experts)
Assistance in problem solving for design and manufacture related issues
Practical knowledge of the products produced and serviced by the Group
Duties / tasks later in apprenticeship, with more experience and help from line manager:
Developing new compressor products
Engaging with the whole supply chain to help create smooth and rapid workflows
Training at Group sites
