Apprenticeships
The business has an organic growth strategy and therefore
has a proud record of sponsoring and employing apprentices. Previous
apprentices have been appointed to a number of key areas including sales,
management and senior shop-floor positions.
PA offers apprenticeships to school leavers interested in
a career in business administration or engineering. Engineering apprentices
follow a four year day release program commencing with 9 months full time at
a local dedicated engineering training centre. On their return to the
business they then follow a series of 6 week training periods in all areas
including engineering design, machine shop and final assembly. This
continues until the four years are completed. On completion of their
training they are equipped with an HNC in Engineering (Mechanical or
Electrical at their choice) and GNVQ level 3.
Administration apprentices follow a two year day release
program resulting in a BTEC in Business and Finance and an NVQ.
We are always keen to hear from individuals who would
