Events to celebrate Apprenticeship Week
Monday 6 February
To celebrate Apprenticeship Week 6-10 February 2012, we are hosting an innovative engineering event to encourage and support youngsters looking to make an apprenticeship their way forward to a career.
A MANTRA lorry (MANufacturing TRANsporter) loaded with specialist engineering demonstrations will be open to a selection of schools with an interest in the engineering and manufacturing sector.
The MANTRA lorry is a customised 14 HGV trailer, designed to give aspiring young engineers a hands-on experience with real cutting-edge technologies.
The youngsters will then have the opportunity to speak to some of the local business leaders in the world of engineering and manufacturing.
Tuesday 7 February
Our Principal and Chief Executive will be putting on her hard hat and steel-capped boots to go ‘back to the floor’ to work shadow one of our apprentices.
Gill Alton will be spending the afternoon with an apprentice currently working at Wilmot Dixon and will be visiting properties around Rotherham carrying out to plumbing, plastering and joinery work.
Wednesday 8 February
Open day at Rother Valley Campus. The event will be open from 5pm until 7:30pm and there’ll be a dedicated stand available for anyone interested in apprenticeships.
