What does an apprentice do, James?
“As an Apprentice Engineer I began my training with a block release to College; I spent 19 weeks there before I arrived at my site in Tadcaster. During the 19 weeks, I covered a large number of topics from milling and machining to plc programming. Once I had arrived at site I continued my learning with on the job experience, assisting Engineers with tasks. Working with experienced Engineers allowed me to build on the basics I had learnt at college. As well as the hands-on work I also have college work to complete; this included logbooks and knowledge checks”.
