Work
Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands‑on experience.
What you’ll do at work
Year 1: Learning the Foundations
In your first year, most of your time will be spent at IPS International in Rochester, Kent, where you’ll live and train on a residential basis.
From Year 2 onwards, your apprenticeship becomes even more varied. You’ll split your time between on‑site learning and residential training — spending up to nine weeks a year away from home at national training centres or visiting equipment and robotics suppliers. These weeks give you the chance to work with cutting‑edge technology and learn directly from industry experts. Don’t worry — all travel and accommodation costs are covered.
On site, a typical day could involve
* Shadowing experienced engineers, helping to maintain and repair machinery, responding to breakdowns, or taking part in improvement projects.
* Working across different UK manufacturing sites, gaining a broad understanding of the equipment you’ll be responsible for and how large‑scale production environments operate.
