Training:Level 3 Engineering Apprentices will spend the first year of their apprenticeship full time at our training provider’s Technical School, where they will have four days per week learning practical skills within a workshop environment and one day per week studying towards their Technical Certificate.
Years 2–4: The apprentice will move to a day release format (one day at the Technical School and four days at the Gillingham site) while working towards their Level 3 qualification. On their on-site days, they will begin a rotation of departmental placements within the business, spending time in and gaining experience across a number of Manufacturing and Technical Centre departments.Training Outcome:Although permanent employment is not guaranteed at the completion of the apprenticeship, however, if offered this would likely be in the role of Engineering Technician.Employer Description:PHINIA: Advancing sustainability today, powering a cleaner tomorrow.
