AD The Power of Training: “How Apprentices Transformed Our Workplace”
A group of apprentices
Since its launch in 2017, the centre, which takes on apprentices and equips them with the skills to work in manufacturing as they gain new qualifications, has seen 12 apprentices pass through its doors — many of whom have gone on to hold management positions within the company. Currently, it has three apprentices in engineering roles across the business, with four more joining in the next cohort.
“I learn through experience. Vocational learning would have been great for me, but I was never given that option at school, whereas now, others are.”Alex Malam, 26 years old, is another SDE employee who, like Greenough, has done “every role in the business”. Unlike Greenough, his journey at the company began as an apprentice — spending five years working in the tool room before moving to quality, then to new product introduction in the projects department.
“You want to keep moving around, learn a bit of everything. And when you’re older, then you can decide which route you want to go down.”The skills gap in the UK — across manufacturing, engineering, construction, and more — is a well-documented issue, which is why taking advantage of training opportunities is so important for small to medium-sized enterprises and individuals alike.
