Principally, the award recognises the role that employers and educators play in encouraging young people into engineering apprenticeships, and supporting them throughout their training.
Paul Rowlett, managing director of the AMTC, says the award was a significant feather in the AMTC's cap as it expanded its apprenticeship provision beyond its Coventry base into Oxfordshire, in partnership with Oxford Advanced Skills: "Our apprenticeship programmes are seeding the manufacturing sector with a pipeline of capable engineers and technicians who can give a genuine return on investment and business impact.
"We’ll be taking on a further 200 apprentices in the 2020 intake who will be trained in a variety of manufacturing disciplines, from basic engineering to using some of the most advanced manufacturing technologies in existence,” he adds.
An MTC apprenticeship is said to result in fully rounded, business-ready, skilled engineers capable of giving employers a significant asset, and helping them become increasingly globally competitive.
