What do you know about Engineering and Apprenticeships?

TTE, in conjunction with INOVYN, would like to provide an opportunity for young people in secondary schools in Halton to gainan insight around the opportunities to work in engineering in a major company and how becoming an engineering apprentice is a valuable route to get there.

This event is aimed at year 8 pupils and will cover the following main topics in three sessions on the day:

  • What does engineering cover and what does an engineering apprentice learn and do?
  • Meet apprentices, find out about their journey and aims and ask them questions
  • What could you do as an engineer in a large chemical company?

Event details

There will be three events:

Event date / Request for places final date / Final confirmation date from TTE
9th February 2016 / 22nd January 2016 / 29th January 2016
29th February 2016 / 12th February 2016 / 19th February 2016
18th March 2016 / 4th March 2016 / 11th March 2016

Each event will take place at TTE’s training centre in Ellesmere Port and will last approximately4 hours, starting at 10:00am and finishing at 2:00pm. Lunch will be included.

Each event will have 12 places for young people. We would like to offerfour places, in total, across the three events to each of the eight secondary schools in Halton who are receiving this invitation. We will allocate slots on a ‘first come, first served’ basis so please let us know your first and second choices and how many young people you expect to bring. Also, very importantly, the primary contact at the school for this activity.

We will confirm places as soon as possible after we receive your requests. We have indicated final cut of dates for requesting places and our final confirmation dates.

Contact details and where to submit your request are provided at the end of the document.

The school will be responsible for transport to and from TTE in Ellesmere Port.

Notes/Guidance for teachers

This is intended as an inspirational event. Because of the limited number of places it is important that we get to those young people who would benefit most. It is aimed at young people in year 8 who may have expressed an interest in this type of career as they consider their GCSE choices. They may want to know more about the opportunities and also what they would need to learn. It is not intended for those who are clear that this is the career they want nor those who have expressed no interest.
