Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) safety moment: Drill guard should be down and Goggles should be worn properly (up the nose) Nothing is worth getting injured for, Never walk on past. Apprenticeships are indeed a great way for people enter the Engineering roles and careers.
Agree , apprenticeships can often be looked at as less of a starting point in favour of a degree but you can’t beat starting at the bottom and working your way up. I owe a tremendous amount to my mentor Neil Watkins for developing me throughout my apprenticeship and still to this day.
Very pleased that my son is hoping to secure a degree apprenticeship in engineering after he finishes his A levels. He has already been to some wonderful events and there really is a great range available these days.

Agree Apprentice places need to be ring fenced by employers as a collective so as to elevate skill levels in our industry after all many of us are living proof!
Gary I was an apprentice electrician back in Newham Borough Council, which is where my career started after a short stint labouring and making tea for the managers. Aoprentice, apprentice,apprentice - that’s the way to go and embrace your context and you will learn by seeing and doing.
Good to know. In Pakistan, the apprenticeship is offered by the local industries at secondary level under apprenticeship ordinance but it has not any academic equivalence by any means. I wish, as offered in the UK, Degree level Apprenticeship should also be offered in Pakistan as an alternate route.
We know it’s a posed photo but would be better with the guard down.
It's great reading this article, I followed a very similar route into engineering and I'm glad I did, the apprenticeship scheme will equip you with skills just not available anywhere else. Great to see the IET/EngC sharing content like this!
