Apprenticeships.
Together, A&P and Cammell Laird recruit at least 75 apprentices each year and the vast majority have gone straight into full-time, permanent employment upon completion of their initial training.
At Cammell Laird, over 40 apprentices have now moved up into the second year of their apprenticeship - after spending their first year at The Engineering College learning the foundations of their trade alongside skilled tutors.
In Falmouth, A&P was recently awarded ‘Large Employer of the Year’ in the Cornwall Apprenticeship Awards. Frankie Thomas, apprentice pipeworker, was also shortlisted and ‘Highly Commended’ in the category of Engineering & Manufacturing Apprentice of the Year Award.
Graduates.
The internal technical department is embedded within the Group’s Cammell Laird shipyard on the River Mersey. The department has a successful and longstanding history of recruiting and training graduate Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, taking on new graduates annually.
The graduate training programme lasts for five years which sees progressive continual professional development and practical experience that supports graduates to gain Chartered Engineer (CEng) status with either the Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA) or the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST).
As the largest operator of commercial shipyards in the UK, APCL graduates are engaged in a huge variety of projects. We offer a vast and truly unique graduate scheme that provides key practical experience from day one.
