Fri, 25 Apr 2014Ford UK has announced a series of engineering and business apprenticeship programmes, including a newly-established Higher Apprenticeship in IT.
Places are now available for Ford of Britain apprenticeship programmes starting in September, which include Advanced Apprenticeships in engineering, and unique degree-level and professional level Higher Apprenticeship programmes in engineering, finance and IT.
For the first time, Ford is extending its business Higher Apprenticeships to IT, enabling young people to develop both business knowledge and technical skills. The programme provides a path towards a Batchelor of Science (BSc Hons) degree in IT Management for Business (ITMB) at the University of Greenwich.
The extension of Ford’s business Higher Apprenticeships accelerates Ford’s search for the industry’s next innovators and business leaders through its apprenticeship programmes. This includes its Masters Apprenticeship Programme, which recruits 450 new apprentices into the Ford dealer network every year.
A Ford Higher Apprenticeship in engineering includes full degree-level qualification, offering high-quality training in a range of engineering skills.
Tessa Hougham, apprenticeship manager, Ford of Britain, says: “Ford’s expanding range of apprenticeship programmes will provide even more young, talented individuals with the opportunity to earn and learn at the same time, and ensures that Ford continues to recruit the best people for these highly-skilled roles.”
Dr Raj Bhatti, head of department, Mechanical, Manufacturing and Design Engineering at the University of Greenwich, says: “We are extremely pleased to be part of Ford’s Higher Apprenticeship programmes, which will this year become stronger than ever. Greenwich places great store in ensuring that graduates can seek out new opportunities, generate novel ideas, and be effective in the world of work, and this partnership is a first-class example of achieving just that.”
Applications for the Ford apprenticeship programmes close on 16 May 2014.
