Life as a WEC Group Apprentice
Earn While You Learn and Gain Skills for Life
Our pledge as an employer is to inspire our apprentices to become the best that they can be in order to build a successful future for themselves.
Our Engineering Academy was created with a clear vision, that WEC Group could nuture and develop the skills of local individuals, who would then go on to have long and successful careers within the company. Since opening, the academy has welcomed over 200 apprentices in advanced disciplines including welding and fabrication, mechanical engineering and CNC Machining.
