Manufacturing is an innovative, ever-evolving industry that offers a vast range of career options for employees. And with the skills shortages in the UK, there is no better time to start to train for a manufacturing apprenticeship.
At Unifabs we are passionate about investing in the next generation. We firmly believe that apprentices are the future of our business. So we have created the ‘Unifabs Academy’ in order to keep new talent coming into the business and keep British manufacturing alive. We dont stop at just manufacturing apprentices, we also offer apprenticeships accross a range of business functions.
Working in partnership with Train’d Up, time is split between remote based lessons, and learning from highly trained experienced engineers at Unifabs, using our state-of-the-art equipment. Remote learning, practical work and assessments all take place in the workplace.
Unifabs has a dedicated academy training area where successful candidates will learn and practice the full range of manufacturing processes, including:
1) Interpreting manufacturing drawings, tolerancing and manufacturing symbols.
2) CNC laser/punch programming/nesting, operation and in-process inspection.
3) Press brake/metal bending, setting, operating and in-process inspection.
4) MIG, TIG and spot welding, and fabrication including drilling/tappling/countersinking, sawing, in-process inspection, and jigs and fixture.
In addition to learning the above during your course, you will also learn about powder coating (loading efficiently, pre-treatment, robot line, manual booth and calibration), and mechanical assembly including the use of assembly tools, interpretation of assembly drawings, use of non-metallics and packaging. Covering the full range of services offered at Unifabs.
WHAT WILL WE EXPECT FROM YOU?
Apprentices are expected to work to a standard required by the national curriculum and Unifabs Ltd. Your work will be observed by internal training staff and there may also be some studying involved in your own time.
The Unifabs Academy provides a ‘hand’s-on’ supportive learning environment where you’ll be provided with an excellent standard of training. Apprenticeship intake sizes will be small, so you’ll have plenty of one-to-one time with the industry experts who will be training you. And, upon completion you will be offered a full-time position at Unifabs with excellent opportunities for career progression within the business.
