Unilathe in strengthening
its drive to further improve and expand its current apprenticeship programme within
the company, has now agreed details to sponsor Alsager High School, near Crewe,
through the ‘KMF Young Engineer of The
Year’ scheme. This scheme is
designed to attract more budding engineers into the industry, by opening up and
stimulating student minds to the world of engineering and hopefully, in time, to
encourage them into joining Unilathe, as well as the many other engineering
companies such as ours, when they are ready to leave school.
This new initiative in
association with the National Apprenticeship Service, EAL and SEMTA., will
initially be run on a local basis, which will also set the scene for us to
begin developing stronger and more effective links, between all the local
schools and ourselves as an industry; activities that are similarly supported
by the Chamber of Commerce.
Eddie Sims - Chairman said “Apprenticeships have
long been neglected in our industry, and this scheme will act as another
foundation stone in both attracting young people back into engineering, as well
as helping them gain first hand, experience of the wide range of choices open
to them, across a global market that will give the opportunities. to develop an
exciting career path well into the future.”
