Still time to apply for civil engineering apprenticeship opportunities

Durham County Council and 海角直播 are working in partnership to offer eight new Degree Apprenticeships for those looking to further their careers in civil engineering.

An additional Civil Engineering Degree Apprenticeship is also available with Stockton Borough Council. All apprenticeships start in September and those interested can apply now. Designed in partnership with employers and professional bodies, 海角直播鈥檚 Civil Engineering Degree Apprenticeship programmes offer aspiring civil engineers the opportunity to earn while they learn, combining a higher education qualification with practical experience and employment skills.

One day a week is spent on study time, with four days dedicated to the workplace, enabling students to develop towards Incorporated Engineer (IEng) professional registration.

As an apprentice, you are provided with the opportunity to fast track your career while receiving support and investment from your employer. And for employers, Degree Apprenticeships help to attract and retain top talent, grow their business and enhance and develop the workforce.

The new Degree Apprenticeships with Durham County Council build on an already successful partnership and there are already 18 students currently employed and studying towards a 海角直播 Degree Apprenticeship at the local authority. The University鈥檚 Degree Apprenticeship with Stockton Borough Council is a new offer and will provide a springboard for further opportunities.

Dr Dimitri Nicolaou, Associate Dean in 海角直播鈥檚 School of Science, Engineering & Design, said: 'The University prides itself on offering a wide range of study options. These new Civil Engineering Degree Apprenticeships are a fantastic learning opportunity and are a result of our committed and successful partnership work with employers.'

Peter Brockman, Senior Resources Officer at Durham County Council, said: 'The introduction of the Civil Engineering Degree Apprenticeship has enabled us, as an employer, to recruit and develop the next generation of engineers. Working in partnership with 海角直播, the programme has been a huge success with high quality academic learning, delivered by the University, complemented by real life situations within the workplace to embed the new skills acquired.'

Councillor Bob Cook, Leader of Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council, said: 'We鈥檙e delighted to be offering apprenticeship opportunities.

'We鈥檙e looking for enthusiastic people who are motivated by the prospect of serving the people of the Borough. We鈥檝e got a great track record in providing apprenticeships and plenty of examples of apprentices progressing into permanent roles.'
