Friday, October 23, 2015 0 Comments A+ a-



 As mentioned in the previous blog, over the next couple of weeks we will be introducing the different people in our social media team. Today, we will start with the Mechanical Apprentices based in Hexham!

 Lewis, Final Year Apprentice (I am the one in the back of the photo)

·        When did you join EGGER: 2012, straight after my GCSEs in Engineering, Maths, English, Science, Business Studies and Graphics at Queen Elizabeth High School.

·        Why did you choose EGGER: I saw EGGER as an excellent opportunity to get into Engineering due to the size and variety of the plant.

·       What are you currently working on: I am working on my final year project which I will give you more information about in a future blog and I am also looking forward to starting my shift training over the coming months.

·        When did you join EGGER: 2013, after my A-Levels in Maths, Business and Product Design at Queen Elizabeth High School.

·       Why did you choose EGGER: I realised when studying my A-Levels that an apprenticeship would be the best way to gain practical skills in Engineering and I knew EGGER were a large local employer with great opportunities.

·        What are you currently working on: I have just started studying the first year of my HNC in Mechanical Engineering and I am currently doing my process training within the recycling plant. This is where we study the production process through each part of the plant, over a 4 month period, spending 1 month in each section. At the end of that month we have to give a presentation to all of the production and engineering managers to show what we have learned.

·        When did you join EGGER: 2014, following my GCSEs in Engineering, History, RE, English, Maths and Science at Queen Elizabeth High School.

·       Why did you choose EGGER: I have always had an interest in Engineering and after visiting EGGER’s Apprentice Open Day, I knew I would get the chance to get hands on experience and meet a range of different people. 

·       What are you currently working on: I have only just come onsite at Hexham, following my year at Rolls Royce and TyneMet College, so I am just getting to know the site and the different people in the mechanical team. So far I have had tours of Lamination, Recycling and impregnation. 
 
Apprentice Open Day
We each came along to an Apprentice Open Day to get a better understanding of what an apprenticeship at EGGER had to offer and we would suggest that if you are interested you do the same. Our next one is scheduled for Thursday 12th November at our site in Hexham. We will be there answering any questions and showing people around the workshops.

Welcome to our Apprenticeship Blog!

We have launched this to help people understand what it is really like to be an EGGER apprentice.

To help manage our Blog, Facebook and Instagram pages, we have created a team made up of:

  •  3 Electrical Apprentices
  •  3 Mechanical Apprentices
  • 4 Business Administration Apprentices
  •  1 Administrative Support Assistant
Combined we help give an insight into all aspects of the business.
Don’t worry we will soon post blogs introducing ourselves properly, including how we became apprentices at EGGER.

To start the project we all attended a social media seminar, where we discussed ideas for exciting blog topics which would give you the most insight into EGGER and our apprenticeships, so look out for these over the coming weeks and months!  

Apprentice Open Day
We are holding an Apprentice Open Day on Thursday 12th November at our site in Hexham, so if you are interested in an apprenticeship please come along and talk to us.
