Our maintenance apprentices started their final 6-week rotation last week in mechanical maintenance, and they’ve hit the ground running 💪

Already, they’re being assessed on their ability to dismantle and reassemble a fuel injector, putting their precision and problem-solving skills to the test.

They’ll have already gained many of the skills and knowledge required, following an intensive 8 months of hands-on learning, with rotations in electrical and mechanical maintenance, electrical installation and fitting, hydraulics and pneumatics, PLCs and everyone’s favourite… bench fitting!

Our foundation training is what sets us apart as an engineering training provider, giving apprentices not just the technical skills, but the work ethic and mindset needed to succeed in industry. All delivered by highly skilled instructors with strong engineering backgrounds.

A big shout-out to our Ryan, who only just started teaching in September and has already made a massive impact. Bringing with him a solid engineering background from his time in the Royal Navy and then in manufacturing, his clear passion for developing future talent is clear!

We were at A&P Tyne this morning for their first assessment centre of the year!

It was such an insightful morning for those exploring apprenticeships in welding, fabrication, shipwrights, and mechanical fitting. The site itself is an exciting place to discover, offering a real glimpse into careers in marine engineering.

Seta apprentices Erin, Junior, Jack and Owen did such a brilliant job as ambassadors sharing their experiences, answering questions, and helping to inspire the next cohort of apprentices as they begin their journey.

Next step, interviews! Good luck to you all 🙌🏻 👷 👷🏼‍♀️

What a brilliant day at our very first charity football match! ⚽

A fantastic victory for Sunderland (AGAIN 😉) against Newcastle, but more importantly an incredible day bringing everyone together for a great cause.

Our apprentices and staff gave it their all on the pitch, raising money for Hope 4 Kidz while enjoying a competitive game and some great team bonding. It was amazing to see the support from those cheering on the side lines too, fellow apprentices, friends, and family all playing their part in making the day so special.

A huge thank you to everyone involved, and a special shout out to Ryan, our Machine Instructor, for organising every detail - from the venue and teams to trophies and bibs. An incredible effort that made the day such a success! 👏

And a huge well done to man of the match, Issac Price 🙌🙌

What a way to bring us all together and create something we know will only grow from strength to strength!

👷‍♀️ Great to be back at St Wilfrid's RC College promoting our engineering apprenticeships to students across the school 👷‍♂️

We were joined by Saul, a first-year Mechanical Fitter apprentice at Cylinder Services, Inc., and Ethan, a first-year Multi-Skilled Maintenance Technician apprentice at Metinvest (Spartan), both former students of the school.

It was fantastic for current pupils to hear directly from them and see that if you can see it, you can be it!

Saul and Ethan shared their experiences of starting their apprenticeships, along with some great advice and tips for students thinking about applying and taking their first steps into the world of engineering. They’re both doing brilliantly so far and are a real credit to the programme.

Having apprentices return to their former schools really helps bring our apprenticeship pathways to life, so a big thank you to both of you for taking the time to support the session and thanks to St Wilfrids for having us👏
