If you have left school recently, or are about
to, you’re probably thinking about what to do next. A career in
Engineering will give you great job opportunities. Why not join our
pre-apprenticeship programme where you will learn the skills
employers want.
You will receive an Educational Maintenance Allowance of £30.00
per week, and a bonus of £5 each week you have full attendance. You
will also receive free travel to and from the centre.
We provide 16-18 year olds two possible routes into an
Engineering Apprenticeship
- E2E
- PEO (Performing Engineering Operations)
All learners will initially start on the E2E route but can then
progress onto the PEO at a later date.
Qualifications
Whilst on a Engineering course there are a number of
qualifications and areas such as:
- Numeracy
- Literacy
- CLAIT Level 1
- Personal and Social Development
Building up confidence and self-esteem
is important for young people to progress in life. Personal and
Social Development helps you to develop the skills needed to manage
in life. This will be covering subjects such as team working,
managing relationships, healthy living, managing money and
preparation for work.
E2E provides skills and support to allow access to
apprenticeships or Further Education in Engineering. A combination
of practical workshop tasks, technical drawing and theory. Equipping
you with the skills for Engineering
The course is made up of the following units:
Engineering Practices
- Work safely in engineering and efficiently
Bench fitting
- Covering marking out, use of hand tools, working from
drawings to produce a component by hand.
Machining
- Use of lathes and pillar drills to produce components.
Assembly
- Assembly of equipment using correct procedures and
tools.
Electrical, Fabrication and Maintenance
procedures
The purpose of the E2E course is to provide a taste of all the
main Engineering sectors as well as helping you to gain or improve
your basic skills qualifications.
Learn the skills in order to build your own bike, which you will keep on successful completion.
On your E2E course there are also a number of enrichment
activities which you can take part in, such as:
- Potholing
- Archery
- Raft Building
- PEO (Performing Engineering Operations)
Traditionally new entrants into engineering occupations have
required basic training. Everyone entering an engineering occupation
needs a basic understanding of safety and requirements of personal
protection equipment. You should be able to recognise materials and
processes and be able to use industrial standard communication
methods, such as engineering drawings.
The qualification Performing Engineering Operations, can provide
this foundation, with flexibility to meet both current engineering
practices and ones in the future.
- Provide evidence of ability to do a particular job
