Production Apprentices - Bude

What's involved?

An engineering apprenticeship is an ideal way to start your career at Bott, with opportunities to progress. You can learn and gain a nationally recognised qualification, whilst earning a monthly wage. Starting in September, our scheme is provided in partnership with local Colleges and completed over 4 years. Combining full-time employment with part-time study, you get hands-on experience and earn while you learn.

You will be allocated time to attend college on a day release basis, resulting in a level 3 certificate in engineering upon completion of the apprenticeship. You will have the opportunity to work within all production disciplines and with our support, gain all the knowledge and effective practical skills you need. This involves hands-on work - from maintaining tools & welding to training on state-of-the-art equipment & machinery.

Mat from MTD MFG, recently came to visit us at our UK manufacturing facility in Bude. He learned how our long-running apprenticeship programme has provided us with a pool of skillful people who learn new skills quickly and are looking to progress their careers. Mat met up with a few of our current apprentices, Adam, Nathan & Pete - all working towards their Level 3 Certificate in Engineering and also chatted to Nick Smith, CEO & Clive Woodward, COO, about the benefits that apprentices bring to the business.

Apprenticeships have long been at the core of our business and with just over 20% of our workforce successfully benefiting from various apprenticeship schemes, it’s a trend we’re not about to alter. A good percentage of our longest serving employees, many of whom have been here their entire working life, have successfully risen up the corporate ladder from apprentice to higher management and executive level positions.

We have learned that one of the key building blocks in creating long term working relationships is cultivating a strong apprenticeship programme that fosters loyalty, ambition and talent in those that join us. Our apprenticeship schemes have provided us with a pool of skillful people who learn new skills quickly, are looking to progress their careers and understand the goals of the business. Their drive and positive input is rewarded with perks, benefits and career progression – mutually beneficial for the apprentice and bott.
