MTC makes 200 apprenticeship places available

The fast-growing Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) will be taking on more than 200 apprentices for its 2020 intake. Around 100 of the new cohort will be based at the Advanced Manufacturing Training Centre (AMTC) in Coventry, with a further 100 at the MTC-run Oxfordshire Advanced Skills in Abingdon. The apprentices will be trained in a variety of manufacturing disciplines, from basic engineering to using some of the most up to date manufacturing technology.

Paul Rowlett, managing director of the AMTC, says the MTC had gained a reputation for supporting the engineering sector with high-quality apprenticeship training programmes.

“Our purpose is to seed the manufacturing sector with a pipeline of capable engineering technicians,” he states. “Our apprenticeship programme creates fully rounded, business-ready, skilled engineers capable of giving employers a genuine return on investment and business impact, helping them become increasingly competitive on a global level.”
