Prospective Engineers

It’s an exciting time to be entering the industry, with lots of different companies that focus on various aspects of engineering. However, it can be a challenge to find the right route for you.

If you are thinking about becoming an apprentice then it’s worth reading the relevant information on the government website. For a good overview of what to expect see https://www.gov.uk/become-apprentice.

Gain Real Engineer Apprenticeship Insights

Sometimes it’s better to hear about the engineering career path from an actual apprentice. We have our Automate BEST Films, with current apprentices talking about their journeys.

Alternatively, you might be interested in talking to an apprentice 1:1. Many members of the Automate BEST Club volunteer their time to talk and answer key questions posed by prospective engineers. Email best@automate-best.com for more details.
