The next engineering generation


Right now, the British economy is short of tens of thousands of trained engineers and engineering apprenticeships not only tend to be better paid than other training positions, but also tend to lead to very worthwhile and secure careers.

Swatpro Academy has welcomed 23 new engineering apprentices to its prestigious BEMA training centre near Bristol. The 2022 cohort work for 11 different West Country employers and will start by learning the basics at BEMA's well-equipped workshop under the supervision of its expert trainers, before taking their skills to their employers, still under day-release training and supervision from Swatpro Academy specialists.

BEMA - the name stands for the British Engineering Manufacturers Association - has been in existence since 1936 and has trained thousands of highly skilled staff for local aerospace and other engineering sector firms.

Swatpro Academy courses at BEMA have proved a big hit with trainees, aware that the engineering sector provides a good wage structure and ample opportunities, while employers love the way Swatpro Academy apprenticeships are tailor-made to suit individual needs. Right now, the British economy is short of tens of thousands of trained engineers and engineering apprenticeships not only tend to be better paid than other training positions, but also tend to lead to very worthwhile and secure careers.

Swatpro Academy's engineering apprenticeships, delivered through the BEMA training centre in Yate, near Bristol, has an enviable 100% completion rate and has produced many outstanding results for the engineers of tomorrow.
