Are you looking for an apprenticeship?
Apr 13, 2021
We are looking to develop our next generation of employees by bringing in young recruits via an apprenticeship programme.
We currently offer 2 types of apprenticeships:
1. The Shared Apprenticeship Programme from Aspire Merthyr Tydfil
has directly benefited apprentices as well as companies in the engineering and advanced manufacturing sector that have adopted its innovative approach. To plug skills gaps, the learners are training on-the-job and working in order to achieve units towards their apprenticeship.
Aspire is now working with both Coleg y Cymoedd, who link with Coleg Gwent, and Coleg Merthyr Tydfil to foster the next generation of skilled workers through apprenticeships covering amongst other areas Electrical Engineering & Mechanical Engineering.
Apprentices are employed by Aspire Merthyr Tydfil and placed with a host manufacturing company like Philtronics for the duration of the apprenticeship (2-3 years) following a selection process and interview.
We are looking for candidate with A Level in STEM subjects or equivalent able to work with us 4 days a week and have 1 day release in college.
2. The University of South Wales Network75 programme which has been running for 20 years is a combined work placement and part-time study route to a degree allowing students to Work, Earn and Learn! Students can graduate with a degree, 5 years work experience and no student debt!
Network75 Trainees are able to apply their academic knowledge to real-life work within their host company gaining the necessary skills, experience and qualifications that are highly sought after by industry.
Working in electronic manufacturing is working in a place where people can create and build the products and technologies that are transforming the world! As a contract manufacturer, we are fortunate to be involved in various sectors such as semiconductor equipment, medical, automation, sports & wellbeing and consumer products.
If you feel you have the right profile, please forward your CV to jobs@philtronicsltd.co.uk and let us know which apprenticeship programme is of interest to you.
