An apprenticeship is a job where you earn a wage, learn new skills and gain hands‑on experience from day one. It’s a practical route into a career, giving you valuable industry knowledge and a competitive edge for the future.
Just like applying for a regular job, you’ll need to submit an application for an apprenticeship vacancy. If successful, you’ll join a team of experienced engineers, learning from professionals in the workplace while contributing to real projects.
Alongside your job, you’ll attend college one day a week, where you’ll develop your technical skills in workshops and classrooms. Everything you learn can be directly applied back in the workplace, helping you grow quickly and confidently in your role.
How to become an apprentice with TTE
If you’re interested in an apprenticeship with TTE, your first step is to apply for a full‑time study programme in your chosen industry area: electrical, instrumentation, mechanical, process and control, or renewable energy.
Throughout the year, employers request new apprentices. When these opportunities become available, we offer them to our full‑time learners so they can further develop their skills. Those who are successful will transfer onto the apprenticeship pathway, continuing their qualifications on a day‑release basis while gaining real industry experience with their new employer.
