Home » People » Apprenticeships Apprenticeships British Engines has its own award winning apprenticeship scheme, Apprenticeship+. The scheme encompasses both academic and practical learning, with support offered at every stage of the journey. When asked what the Apprenticeship+ scheme means to him, Jonathan Fyfe (one of our final year apprentices) said: ‘The scheme shows me that the company is willing to invest in its apprentices to expand their potential. Apprenticeship+ not only gives extra training and learning opportunities, but gives us, the apprentices, a chance to progress further in the company, something an ordinary apprenticeship wouldn’t do. British Engines acknowledge the potential of apprentices, as the future of their business, so they provide as much specific training as they can.’ We’re very proud of our apprentices at BEL Valves, as we’ve been hiring apprentices for nearly 50 years and they now make up 20% of our workforce. Many of our apprentices are offered permanent jobs with us at the end of the training programme. Places on our Apprenticeship+ programme are highly sought after, please visit the British Engines website for more information about entry requirements and opportunities: http://goo.gl/NjwnMb The local community is very important to us, being a company based in the North East of England, and as part of this we try and support our local universities as much as we can. The business has been instrumental in the development of the Subsea Engineering and Management Masters Degree at Newcastle University as well as working in partnership with Northumbria University to offer the STEM Programme (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). This programme aims to support collaboration activities between higher education and industry, which develops skills through in house training and an application of knowledge. BEL Valves’ training and development is intrinsically linked with its business strategy and, as such, employees are encouraged to continue their studies into higher education. Graduate Scheme Additional to Apprenticeship schemes, BEL Valves is now offering graduate job opportunities for engineering and commercial roles. Ideally designed for Graduates from engineering disciplines, these roles offer Graduates a chance to develop a career in an innovative and stimulating environment. Graduate recruits are provided with a personal development programme that will see them gaining experience across a range of activities to develop their product awareness, business acumen, engineering, design and project management skills. Exciting career opportunities are available with many of our senior engineers and managers having developed their careers through this route.
