Apprentice open evening at the MTC

The Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) in Coventry has invited the engineers of the future to look at apprenticeship opportunities available in its Advanced Manufacturing Training Centre (AMTC). With the plan of recruiting nearly 100 apprentices to start in September 2019, the AMTC is holding an apprentice open event in December that will provide potential trainees with an insight into the centre’s apprenticeship programme.

As a flagship facility for advanced apprenticeships, trainees attending the AMTC learn the latest technology in areas such as automation, metrology and advanced manufacture. Apprentices also get the opportunity to test and develop their skills with partner employers.

Paul Rowlett, managing director of the AMTC, says: "Our purpose is to seed the manufacturing sector with a pipeline of capable engineering technicians. Employers can maximise their levy spend with our programmes, giving a genuine return on investment while ensuring they become increasingly competitive on the global stage. Our open event will give potential apprentices the chance to learn everything they need about the programmes."

The apprentice open evening will be held on 6 December between 17:00 and 19:30, and pupils, parents, careers advisors, teachers and college staff are all welcome.
