The IAE apprenticeship scheme is a fantastic way to start earning, while getting on the job training, combined with a formal qualification, to kick start a career at IAE. The PEO Level 3 Apprenticeship ensures that every learner has the opportunity to reach their full potential in a safe and supportive place to work.
I like that IAE has given me the opportunity to understand every process that is involved within the business, from manufacturing to sales. The apprenticeship itself has helped me become a better version of myself and helped me to understand my career aspirations. It is clear IAE value their apprentices and I would not hesitate in recommending IAE to my friends.
The apprenticeship scheme at IAE gave me a vast array of practical and people skills.The programme was structured, practical and rewarding which provided me with a great deal of job satisfaction. The apprenticesip scheme has been a great way for me to kickstart a career in the manufacturing industry.
I chose to apply for an apprenticeship at IAE after being given a tour of the factory, I was surprised by the level of technology and by how clean the site was. As a Level 3 Apprentice I have had the opportunity to work within many departments, which in turn has taught me lots of new skills, including programming and welding.
I have worked at IAE for 6 years and started my time here as a Level 2 apprentice but have since progressed onto a Level 3 apprenticeship which I am near completing. The apprenticeship scheme here is much more structured, with much better rates of pay compared to other local employers.
The apprenticeship has taught me skills that I would not have been able to learn while in full-time education. Understanding and working with other people has been a key skill that I have developed while rotating around the different departments. The structured programme has given me variety and focus within the workplace.
Every week is different and because I have been trained in each department, I have become an asset to the business and can be flexible in which area I am needed. The supervisors and management team are very supportive and provide frequent reviews to evaluate progress and to discuss areas I have excelled in and areas to improve.
I would highly recommend the IAE apprenticeship scheme to anyone who asked. It has given me the chance to gain hands-on experience in the real world, which has really helped me to develop my confidence in the workplace. Being a trusted member of staff with responsibilities is a great aspect of the programme.
