This will be alongside extensive internal training on Problem solving, Lean training, Business improvement technique courses. What are we looking for?

Enthusiasm for learning Passion for problem solving Self-motivated, driven and organised Become part of a successful team We value all of our apprentices! They make a huge difference to the future of our business. Don’t take our word for it. Listen to what our current apprentices have to say: “For anyone looking to start an apprenticeship I would say go for it as it has been a great experience for me because you get to carry out practical activities on site at Crowcon Gas Detection Instruments Ltd and the theory side at college on a day release type format. This is vital as it gives me the knowledge behind carrying out certain activities and it all links together with my everyday work. An apprenticeship is also very good as your employer pays you for your time and if that’s not enough it increases on a yearly basis depending on results from college and practical challenges on site.” Ryan Jones Ryan is also an Apprenticeship Ambassador. The Apprenticeship Ambassador (AA) programme is a scheme where apprentices have the opportunity to visit schools and various workshops around Oxfordshire to help promote apprenticeships in the workplace.
