About the apprenticeship programme
JGC Engineering & Technical Services Ltd offers a 3-year Apprenticeship Programme in Fabrication & Welding. Each year, we take on approximately four apprentices, providing hands-on experience, training, and a pathway to a skilled career in the engineering industry.
We collaborate closely with UHI North West Hebrides, identifying promising candidates from SVQ & NC Fabrication & Welding SCQF5 course or a similar level engineering course. We monitor students’ progress throughout the academic year and conduct interviews and work placements with those demonstrating strong performance and commitment.
