The Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) in Coventry (
www.the-mtc.org) is looking for partners to take advantage of its acclaimed training scheme by employing a work-ready apprentice.
It is offering manufacturers the chance to recruit young engineers and technicians who have already completed advanced elements of its apprenticeship programme and are ready to take the next step in their careers.
All salary costs for these placements will be covered by the MTC for a trial period.
Thirty-four apprentices are available for placement immediately, having completed 18 months of their training.
Colin Bancroft, apprentice placement leader, said: “We have ensured that taking on an apprentice is risk-free to businesses, as we offer a free trial period to ensure that the apprentice fulfils the requirements of the business before a commitment is made.
“MTC apprentices are exactly what manufacturing industry needs to fill the high-tech jobs of the future.
“Our apprenticeship courses have the advantage of not being company-specific or sector-specific, so the result is a fully rounded apprentice capable of filling the most demanding of manufacturing and engineering positions.
“Several of our apprentices have gone on to win awards and accolades for their skills.”
