"We have worked hard to establish an award-winning apprenticeship programme in partnership with our local colleges. This ensures future opportunities and long-term sustainability for young people in our community. I am delighted that our 2023 recruitment has been so successful and wish the apprentices every success in their journey with our company."

Learning experiences

Terry Weston, Chief Executive of The Engineering College, added: "Apprentices training at The Engineering College are taught by our technical staff who themselves have been drawn from across various sectors of the engineering industry, a number of whom have worked and excelled in their trade areas at Cammell Laird."

"Apprentices have the opportunity to train within a community of engineers and alongside apprentices from other sectors, sharing their learning experiences and benefitting from the advice and guidance they receive from a cross-section of other engineering experienced industry professionals - people with real-life experience, many of whom began their journey as apprentices themselves."
