Value of manufacturing engineering apprenticeships explained

London Electric Vehicle Company (LEVC) has marked National Apprenticeship Week by releasing videos explaining the value of its industry apprenticeships.

Apprentices Elly Bowes and Kieran Connolly were recently interviewed to share their valuable insight into the programme, explaining why LEVC has helped launched their careers in the automotive industry.

LEVC currently has two openings for level 6 engineering apprenticeships in product design and development engineering. To find out how to apply to the scheme, click here.

The company offers engineering apprentices the opportunity to complete Level 6 in product and design development over a five-year apprenticeship development programme.

The LEVC facility in Coventry allows apprentices to complete schemes in engineering, commercial, quality, and manufacturing. Offering variety, support and progression, LEVC says it is proud to support Apprenticeship Week with the company’s extensive and rewarding apprenticeship schemes.

Manufacturing engineering technician apprentice, Elly Bowes, said: “My highlights are getting Apprentice of the Year and meeting Prince Charles. LEVC is very supportive, not just in a work environment but in a personal environment too. I really love working here.”

Mechatronics maintenance engineering apprentice, Kieran Connolly, said: “I really wanted to pursue a career in engineering and thought that LEVC was the perfect opportunity for me to do that.”

Head of engineering, Paul Bostock, said: “The programme is designed to provide a first-class academic experience and also to provide experiences across the organisation including the Engineering departments but also covering departments such as Commercial, Quality, and Manufacturing. This really is an unrestricted environment with the apprentice centre.”
