National Apprenticeship Week 2024: Join our Power division
Unbelievably, National Apprenticeship Week 2024 is the 17th annual celebration of apprenticeships.
The week allows industry, employers and their employees to celebrate the value, benefit and opportunities that apprenticeships bring.
The theme for National Apprenticeship Week 2024 is “Skills for Life”, encouraging everyone to consider how apprenticeships can help individuals to develop the skills and knowledge required for a rewarding career, and employers to develop a workforce with future ready skills.
Our Morson Projects Power division is a prime example of this, with a proven track record of developing their internal talent through from Apprentices to Senior Engineers and Project Managers.
We caught up with Hayley Jones, Senior Training Co-Ordinator / Document Controller, who explains more:
“Our Power division have been taking on Apprentices for over thirty years now. We have a fantastic success rate of recruiting both school and college leavers and training them to become valued members of our team, so much so, that 60% of our current Power team began their career with us as an apprentice.
Some of our Apprentices also choose to continue their studies after completing their HND’s at college, by going on to study for a company-funded degree alongside their role.”
“Our apprenticeship training sees employees gain a broad range of experience across Power, Electrical and Instrumentation disciplines, working on a range of projects for clients such as National Grid, ENWL, Morrisons Energy Services, GE, Scottish Power, Hitachi and most recently J Murphy’s.”
“I have worked for Morson Projects’ Power division for 22 years and have seen it grow from providing Protection & Control design to expanding into Primary Design, Installation and Panel Building. The department has also tripled in size in that time and is expected to expand significantly again over the coming months. Apprenticeships are just some of the exciting opportunities available in the present expansion. It is an exciting time to join a fast paced, busy and friendly team with fantastic routes to develop your career and become the future of our Power division.”
As the team continues to expand, we are delighted to be recruiting four new apprentices to join the team, based from our Irlam Head Office.
