Apprenticeship boost as MCMT announces 30 new positions

Apprenticeship boost as MCMT announces 30 new positions

More than 30 apprenticeship places have been announced at two leading manufacturing training hubs.

Marches Centre of Technology & Manufacturing (MCMT) and its partner In-Comm Training Academy Shrewsbury (ITAS) are looking to grow the industrial talent of the future by offering the latest courses in welding, general engineering and machining.

Recruitment is taking place for a start of March 2018. Many of the positions have jobs attached to them with employers keen to do more to bridge gaps by increasing the pipeline of skills available in Shropshire.

Amy Farley, apprenticeship and centre co-ordinator at MCMT, explained: “This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to get into engineering and manufacturing, and have access to two sites that have over £5 million of investment channelled into them.”

“All of the courses are delivered by expert trainers from In-Comm Training and the apprentices will be learning on a host of state-of-the-art equipment, including robotics, CNC machines, metrology and Mig, Tig and Arc welding bays.”

She added: “Going down the apprenticeship route can give you a clear pathway into industry and to securing a degree in exactly the same timescale as if you decided to go to university. The difference is that doing it this way you are likely to be £100,000 better off from not having any debt and earning whilst you’re learning.

Marches Centre of Manufacturing & Technology is run by a consortium of Classic Motor Cars, Grainger & Worrall, In-Comm Training and Salop Design & Engineering.

The Bridgnorth site is housed in a 36,000ft2 facility on the Stanmore Industrial Estate and provides a high-tech environment for individuals to learn from engineering experts on the latest technology – all geared towards giving them opportunities to apply their new found skills on real life manufacturing situations.

It is equipped with over £2 million of the latest equipment, including dedicated fabrication, foundry, lathe, metrology, milling, robotics and vehicle trimming sections.
