What you could do
A world of nuclear reactors, software systems, automotive engineering and all kinds of manufacturing. A hands-on industry where you design and build products that shape the way we live, work, travel and play.
Manufacturing companies produce parts and tools on both industrial and small scales, which in turn keeps all the other industries supplied with the materials needed to do their job.
Engineering, meanwhile, is all about making these things work and includes everything from servicing escalators and checking RAF aircraft to activating phone lines and broadband cables.
It's not just tools and workshops either. Software engineers are using the latest technologies to create virtual systems that will transform how we live and work in the future.
Apprenticeships include:
- Nuclear technician
- Rail and rail systems engineer
- Brewer
- Aerospace engineer
"I am so thankful that I’ve got a degree - but not just that on its own. I also have 3 years of invaluable hands-on experience."
