I have successfully managed the MTC Apprentice program into its fourth year which has included achieving the award of the Top 100 in the UK (National Apprentice Awards 2014). Personally being recommended and recognised by the IMechE as the EngTech Visionary Award 2013 which is something I am very proud of and enabled me to become an EngTech sponsor supporting others to gain this key status. Moving forward with the AMTC I have successfully selected and recruited the first and second cohort of a total of 77 Apprentices who have successfully integrated into two college sites which I managed and also developed the relationship of both providers.For me the key features of running a successful apprentice program:-• Leading by example• Clear communication• Strong understanding of apprentice pathways and curriculum• Collaboration with external and internal stakeholders• EnthusiasmThe role of Apprentice Manger has allowed me to use all of the above but also bring into play my workshop experience, health and safety qualification, assessor skills, lecturing experience and mentoring ability to support the development of this key centre. All key deliverables of the MTC program I have completed in my current role which has been demonstrated with the success of the MTC Apprenticeship program.

The main responsibility of this role is to be the first point of contact for companies who wish to employ apprentices, with the aim being to create suitable apprenticeship programs for the company (large or small). From the outset, it is my responsibility to check the company has a safe working environment and complies with current regulations and also has a future job role identified. I then confirm the most appropriate and applicable pathway for each individual apprentice to follow and agree this with the company; I mentor and monitor each apprentice through to completion. My role as ITM consists of many duties, the most significant of which are listed below:• To help, guide and support students, following initial enquiry and interview to choose the right course of study• To work with Companies, Training managers and agencies to help co-ordinate the placing of students in work placements or employment positions• To be the liaison between the apprentice and company• To work with managing agents to ensure students are placed in a safe and suitable work situation• To attend careers events, liaise with schools and work with managing agents, to promote recruitment for engineering courses• To work with marketing teams, managers to promote courses and apprenticeship opportunities• To set up and support bespoke training to meet industry requirements• To mentor and coach candidates and monitor their progress in all areas• To carry out formal NVQ assessments and hold regular reviews• Safeguard and promote the welfare of learners for who I am responsible• Promotional activity to entice companies to consider apprentices within their business.

Prior to my current role of Industrial Training Manager, I began working at Warwickshire College Rugby Centre as a Lecturer / Instructor in the Engineering department. This position involved teaching to classes and taking practical sessions within the workshop and classrooms. This has enabled me to be confident giving presentations to large groups including management and clients either at College or at company premises. During the setup of the new Rugby Centre in 2010, I was also involved in the planning of the workshop area for the new build including purchasing of equipment to a budget. This has proved successful increasing apprentices at the Rugby Centre by a significant amount in its first year!

Supporting research projects - manufacturing component's using mechanical engineering skills. At Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) my main job role was the support of academics in teaching or research. I was involved with several on-going projects for various companies and using my planning, manual and CNC Machining experience provided engineering support for them. This also involved teaching and demonstrating engineering principles to Graduates within the University. This job role stretched my engineering planning / manufacturing ability to the limit as deadlines had to be met to maintain progress on projects to ensure continued funding. I left this position to secure a full time teaching role at Warwickshire College

PRODUCTION ENGINEERThis was an important role within a key department of the Manufacturing business unit. This is where I gained experience in the setting up of material / production planning schedules, tooling budgets, estimates and cost control. A keen sense of forward planning, teamwork and the ability to make on the spot decisions was essential.It was my responsibility to manage core components within the Light and Heavy machine shop from initial planning to final completion in the most cost efficient and effective manner. Deadlines had to be met via regular manufacturing reviews and problems solved to ensure on time delivery.This process involved the purchasing of correct materials and tooling and giving instruction to operators, inspectors and other engineers. During this time I became proficient in the following software packages Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint / Autosketch / AutoCAD 2000. I was required to leave Alstom Power UK due to staff redundancy on a massive scale.CNC RESOURCE ENGINEER May 1995 – Jan 2000 During this time I worked on various key resources in a dedicated cellular manufacturing department as a CNC Machinist where skill and precision was focused at all times. I had responsibility to liaise with Production Engineers / Programmers and other Craftsmen to ensure continued production and manufacture to a high standard. Key machines that I operated and programmed were a Solon 3 HV/DVT machining centre and an Asquith Starcut Gantry machining centre which had Siemens 840C and 840D programming language respectively. CRAFTSMAN June 1990 – May 1995 On completion of my apprenticeship I was employed as a Craftsman within the Light Machine Shop working on several manual machines (Lathes/ Vertical – Horizontal Milling Machines / Drilling / Grinding / Boring) This gave me a firm grounding of engineering manufacture which enabled me to progress onto CNC Machining on a Wadkin Machining Centre with a Phillips 5000 series control.

I served a full Mechanical Engineering Apprenticeship working in the company training school and at East Warwickshire College on a day release course studying my BTEC and City & Guilds qualifications. The result of the training was a full Mechanical Engineering indentured apprenticeship which I completed nine months ahead of schedule. The training involved working in various parts of the business to gain an understanding of the way in which all the departments ran in conjunction with one another in order to produce the end product a steam turbine.
