Progression
Progression from the Level 4 Apprenticeship – Aerospace/Mechanical/ Electrical - Electronics/Automotive/Maintenance/Wind Generation/Marine/ Space Engineering/ Rail Engineering
Progression routes into the pathway include those who have:
A or AS levels in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics subjects and GCSEs in English, Maths and Science - grade C (new equivalent grade 4) or above or
a Welsh Baccalaureate or
completed a Level 3 Engineering Apprenticeship or
have completed a 14 to 19 Advanced Diploma in Engineering or Manufacturing or
previous work experience or employment in engineering at Level 3 or
other relevant qualifications, experience or skills as given in the entry conditions.
Progression from this pathway for those who have completed a Higher Apprenticeship in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering :
progression to the new Degree Apprenticeship in Manufacturing Engineering at Level 6
progression to the Higher Apprenticeship pathway for Advanced Manufacturing Engineering at Level 6 Please note that there is no Level 5 Higher Apprenticeship programme
- employment as a technician in aerospace/mechanical/Electrical-Electronics/ Automotive/Maintenance/Wind Generation/Marine/Space/Rail engineering in a variety of job roles and functions (see job roles).
This Apprenticeship provides excellent preparation towards professional registration as an Engineering Technician and progression to Incorporated Engineer registration via the Degree Apprenticeship or Level 6 pathways. It may also, where appropriate, provide progression to a range of honours degrees.
Professional recognition The Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) recognise that this apprenticeship pathway provides the necessary skills, knowledge and experience to allow apprentices to apply for Engineering Technician status within their institutions. The apprenticeship does not confer automatic membership of any of these institutions as an Engineering Technician. Apprentices are free to apply to the institution of their choice and engage the process of registration.
Please note each institution will charge a registration fee, details of these are available through the weblinks below.
Equality and diversity
It is important that apprenticeship Pathways are inclusive and can demonstrate an active approach to identifying and removing barriers to entry and progression. Pathways should advance equality of opportunity between persons who share protected characteristics and those persons who do not as identified in the Equality Act 2010.
The Protected characteristics identified in the Equality Act are age, disability, gender re-assignment, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity. Marriage and civil partnership is also included although only in respect of the requirement to eliminate discrimination in employment.
Training providers and employers MUST also comply with the other duty under the Equality Act 2010 to ensure that applicants are not discriminated against in terms of entry to the industry based upon those nine protected characteristics.
Cogent, Improve, ProSkills and Semta recognise the business benefits of having apprentices from a wide variety of diverse backgrounds to contribute to the talent pool. In particular the sector faces an aging workforce and the probability of skill shortages, therefore, we must look to attract new entrants from a much more diverse recruitment pool.
We are committed to ensuring that equality and diversity drives all aspects of apprentice selection and recruitment and recognise that this is a challenge in a sector which is traditionally white and male-dominated:
Process and Manufacturing Industries workforce historically has a poor image and a misconception that jobs in these industries are carried out in dark, dirty and potentially dangerous environments. On the contrary, nowadays Process and Manufacturing Industries are very high tech and largely controlled by sophisticated computer technology.
Science, engineering and technology - women make up 50% of the labour market, yet they make up less than 20% of the labour market in science, engineering and technology despite the Women into Science and Engineering projects run in the past.
As partners in this apprenticeship we are taking the following actions to help address these imbalances:
Cogent
Introduced a series of industry specific case studies and Careers Pathways on the Cogent Careers web site ( www.cogent-careers.com) to encourage people from all backgrounds to enter the nuclear industry
Works very closely with the National Skills Academy for Nuclear to promote various initiatives such as Energy Foresight within schools (www.nuclear.nsacademy.co.uk)
Regularly supports regional/national careers fairs/skills events to promote apprenticeships.
Works with representative groups such as the United Kingdom Resource Centre, engaging with their Women in Science and Engineering Work programmes.
National Skills Academy Food and Drink (formerly Improve)
Ongoing monitoring of data to identify any issues and intervene where necessary
Developing careers materials that are accessible to all
Identifying a process to make it easier for potential apprentices to gain information, e.g.by NSAFD's web site.
Enginuity
Signing up to the Government’s United Kingdom Resource Centre (UKRC) leading body for advanced gender equality in science, engineering and technology and the CEO's charter in a bid to step up female recruitment
Enginuity’s careers and qualifications centre includes an emag and articles encouraging more women into science and engineering
Statement on our website that “Semta Apprenticeships Service encourages and supports equal opportunities in the engineering and manufacturing industry. Applications for apprenticeship positions are encouraged from all sections of the community to ensure the industry’s workforce reflects the communities in which companies are based. Applications from people with disabilities are encouraged, however it is recognised that the nature of some employment may limit access for those with certain disabilities”.
Attend national careers fairs to promote science and engineering to a wide audience.
Apprenticeships are seen as a vital route to encourage and facilitate, a greater diversity of individuals into the industry, therefore entry conditions to this pathway are extremely flexible and mentoring has been included to contribute towards increasing retention and achievement rates.
Enginuity expects providers and employers to comply with the Equality Act 2010 to ensure that applicants are not discriminated against in terms of entry to and promotion within the sector.
Cogent, Improve, ProSkills and Enginuity will monitor take up and achievement through the Higher Apprenticeship Steering Group and take steps to address any barriers to take up and achievement as part of our Sector Qualifications Strategies.
Employment responsibilities and rights
Employment Responsibilities and Rights (ERR) is no longer compulsory. But it is recommended that all apprentices (especially the 16 years -18 year group) receive a company induction programme.
Responsibilities
It is the responsibility of the Training Provider and Employer to ensure that the requirements of
this pathway are delivered in accordance with the Welsh Government/Medr Apprenticeships
Guidance.
