Our connected technologies are reshaping industries, transforming cities, and enriching lives.

Training

Training Provider: Shrewsbury College

During your apprenticeship, you will receive two different types of training. ‘On‑the‑job’ training will be delivered by Schneider Electric, as your employer. You’ll receive training and supervision to help you perform the job you’ve been hired to do. It will include skills and knowledge that fall outside of the apprenticeship but are needed for the job role. As well as providing ‘on‑the‑job’ training, we support you in additional ways to ensure your success.

Types of support will include:

• A comprehensive induction
• Mentoring or regular one‑to‑one guidance
• Social enrichment and networking opportunities
• Performance reviews
• Mental health and wellbeing support
• Feedback opportunities

‘Off‑the‑job’ training is delivered by one of our carefully selected Training Providers during your normal working hours. You will spend at least 20% (average 6 hours per week) of your working hours completing ‘off‑the‑job’ training. This is protected time and is a requirement for apprenticeship delivery. This training will teach you the knowledge, skills and behaviours set out in the apprenticeship standard so you can achieve occupational competence.

Work Pattern

37.5 hours per week to be worked from Monday to Friday. Exact start and finish times are to be agreed upon with Line Manager. Some of these hours will be allocated to off‑the‑job training as part of your Apprenticeship Programme.

Skills and Attributes

Essential

• Be self‑motivated, resourceful, and flexible.
• Good interpersonal skills (written and verbal).
• Ability to work well within a team or alone.
• Problem‑solving: Being able to analyse issues, think critically, and offer solutions.

Desirable

• Ability to use Microsoft Office 365 software.

Education

5 GCSEs (or Level 2 equivalent) Grade 4/C or above including English, Maths and a Science, Technology or Engineering related subject.

Previous Experience Required

No pre‑requisite experience required but a demonstrable interest in engineering through school or hobby interests.

Visa Sponsorship
