One of our apprenticeship providers is Petroc College, based in North Devon. In light of National Apprenticeship Week, we met with Dr Caroline Chipperfield and Nicola Allen from the College for a tour of our manufacturing site in Bude and also discussed why Petroc are advocates for apprenticeships.
Apprenticeships encourage individuals to take on academic challenges and gain real life experience while being part of a cohort. You get the opportunity to work with different companies in a range of industries and experience the way that they operate.
-Dr Caroline Chipperfield, Director of Higher Education
Many people don’t know which career pathway to take. Being an apprentice gives individuals the chance to get out in the world with a hands on approach, coupled with experimental learning to get the best of both worlds.
- Nicola Allen, Business Accounts Manager
It is always a pleasure to collaborate with local organisations especially when encouraging young individuals to choose a rewarding career path.
“We want to make people aware of what we do and the opportunity that we can offer the younger generation”
- Andrew Poole, Operations Director at Bott Ltd.
