Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships are a vital part of the Governments plans to build a sustainable and balanced economy. The apprenticeships offered through Engage Training at Bridgend College are an excellent choice for employers who want to equip their staff with the industry skills they need. An apprenticeship is a form of vocational training provided through both on the job and classroom-based training. On the job, an apprentice will work alongside a mentor, learning onsite skills and working towards a work-based qualification at level 2 or level 3. The apprentice will also attend Bridgend College, where they will work towards essential literacy and numeracy skills and complete a technical, knowledge based certificate. Bridgend College currently offers apprenticeship routes in several areas. Agriculture Horticulture Civil Engineering IT Professional / User Construction Landbased Studies Creative Arts Mechanical Engineering Electrical Engineering Motor Vehicle Highways Maintenance Plant Engineering The recent publication of Work Based Learning outcome reports shows that for the third year in a row, Engage Training at Bridgend College has continued to lead the way in the sector of apprenticeships.

Case Study Getting Back to Work

Engage Training and Shaw Trust has teamed up to get people back into work, with great results.
Shaw Trust looked to Engage Training to develop a short course for people who were unemployed. The trainers put together a tailored course which lasted one week and taught the participants valuable employment skills. The course consisted of several modules; including basic health and safety procedures, skills relating to communication, working with others, and how to become more employable. The course was specifically structured to meet retail and warehousing needs and even incorporated interview techniques. Jamie Devine, a trainer at Engage Training based at Bridgend College said We were requested by Shaw Trust to train clients who were ready to prepare for interviews. With this brief in mind, we considered the core skills that were required by the employer and we got to work preparing the course. Some of the participants on the course had different needs and were offered alternative methods of training, such as voice recordings of paper based activities. The 12 participants that took part were set up with interviews for a job with the supermarket chain Morrisons. Following the interviews, three members of the course were offered positions. Chris Scott, Work Choice Coordinator said The training course was tailored perfectly to meet our needs, with some participants gaining work immediately, Jamie continued, The success of the partnership has lead to further courses. I am now three weeks into delivering the course and the results so far are extremely positive. Engage Training offers tailor made training. To find out more, Tel: 01656 763240.
