Engineering

Power-up for a career in engineering.

 

 
What is a career in engineering?

You could be an engineering operative, electronics engineering technician, engineering maintenance fitter, engineering craft machinist, mechanical engineering technician, motor vehicle fitter, motor vehicle breakdown engineer or motor vehicle technician.

Engineers are practical problem solving practitioners (try saying that a few times!) and they work in medicine, entertainment, space exploration and environmental management. To start with you will need to have a decent level of fitness, good maths, science and technology skills. By the end of the course you will have pretty hot communication and problem solving skills, able to work well in a team and on your own and have really, really good practical skills.

Anything else I need to know?

At college we provide all of your specialist equipment and clothing. You’ll go on industry visits where you can mix with potential employers and try outdoor pursuit activities like paintballing. You’ll also get to go to the Automotive Trade Show, which normally takes place at the NEC in Birmingham.

See, it’s not all hard work!
