Apprentices can really help businesses and are a great way to develop your work force of the future #apprenticeships www.apprenticeships.scot

My experience so far with Gilbane Building Company (Federal Division) has been nothing short of amazing! The team at Beale have all been extremely helpful at getting my bearings in the industry and learning the different trades. As I reach the second month of my Skillbridge internship with the company, I have learned the ins-and-outs of construction safety and managing the different programs that it encompasses. Here's to the next coming months ahead 👍🏽🙏🏽👏🏽 #gilbane #safety #construction

Sometimes we are fortunate enough to be able to look back on a momentous career event that happened 40 years ago (you really do need to be over 40 for this to happen and I hope you get there) Last Thursday, I was very fortunate to be able to reflect on such an event with 19 other ex-apprentices who shared that experience The last time we were all on that parade ground together was 11 April 1984, as we graduated from our 3-year RAF Halton apprenticeship as Aircraft Engineering Technicians (Airframes and Propulsion) An interesting and informative tour of Halton House took us back to Trenchard's vision and realisation of apprentices on the hill, and visits to Kermode Hall and the Trenchard Museum reminded us of the technical education and training we received (including meeting one of our instructors who is now a volunteer in the museum) The camaraderie and esprit de corps were instantaneous on being reunited and the humorous banter of events then and since had us laughing late into the night Of course, we remembered absent friends who were not so fortunate to have the opportunity to reflect with us What was absolutely clear, as we rekindled friendship and caught up on the intervening period, was that we had not been recruited as a 'type' nor converted into 'clones' yet we all shared very similar views on the 'ex-Brat' product Even though we had served differing times in different postings, and had gone on to have a widely varied range of subsequent careers and life experiences, there was the common theme of a foundation in integrity, accountability, technical competence, confidence, curiosity, quality focus and systems thinking that enabled us to achieve, both in and out of the Royal Air Force (RAF) There are no apprentices on the hill anymore and not everyone understands what has been lost ....... Rose-tinted spectacles? Probably A little pride? Definitely However, for what it is worth from an "old f4rt" who went through it, the RAF Halton Apprenticeship was a start to an engineering career that could not be replicated and has not been replaced intraresilience Limited - making #competence central to #leadership #quality and #customerservice

In order to become a commercial airline pilot there are multiple things you need to accomplish and ratings you need to achieve. First off there are two different routes you can take to get your training: part 61 or 141 flight school. Part 141 schools are attached to a bachelor's degree and part 61 schools are at your own pace school. No matter what type of school you go to you will need to get several ratings before airlines will hire you. These in order are, Private pilots, instrument, commercial, and ATP. In order to get your ATP you need to have 1,500 hours in a part 61 school or 1,000 hours in a 141 school. The hard part of becoming an airline pilot is building your flight hours. There are multiple different ways to build hours but the most common Is becoming a flight instructor. To be a flight instructor you need to get your CFI and CFII licenses. You can also be a skydive pilot, banner tow pilot, or even buy your plane and go flying. Becoming a pilot is very rewarding but will take lots of time, dedication, and money. I am looking forward to making my way up to the major airlines. I plan on going to a part 61 school and getting an AMP mechanics license as well. #nebointerns #utahcteinternships #internships #shhsinterns

The ocean is vast enough to accommodate both experienced and new mariners, and it is essential to create more opportunities for the next generation of cadets. Every seasoned mariner began their journey as a cadet, facing challenges and learning the ropes. By investing in new talent, we not only honor our own beginnings but also ensure the future of the maritime industry. Here are a few ways we can support new mariners: Mentorship Programs: Experienced mariners can guide cadets, sharing their knowledge and experiences. This mentorship can help bridge the gap between training and real-world application. Internship Opportunities: Companies can offer internships or cadet programs that provide hands-on experience. This practical exposure is invaluable for building confidence and skills. Collaboration with Maritime Institutions: Industry partnerships with educational institutions can help align training with current industry needs, ensuring cadets are well-prepared for employment. Networking Events: Hosting events that connect cadets with industry professionals can open doors to job opportunities and create lasting relationships. Promoting Diversity: Encouraging a diverse workforce enriches the maritime community and fosters innovative solutions to industry challenges. By creating a supportive environment for new mariners, we can help them thrive in their careers and contribute to the ongoing success of the maritime industry. Together, we can ensure that the ocean is big enough for all of us.
