We hosted our 2nd Careers Teachers manufacturing showcase yesterday with Connexions Sandwell, delighted to be joined by Sandwell Council Chief Executive, Shokat Lal. The purpose was to give careers teachers hands on experience of modern manufacturing, the range of jobs and apprenticeships.
A&M are a medium sized SME with 85 employees, however we have a range of different jobs / career options:
- CNC engineer
- EDM engineer / operator
- Toolmaker
- CAD designer
- Fabricator, Welder
- Metrology Inspector
- Quality Engineer
- Maintenance Engineer
- Accounts, Admin, HR, Marketing, IT systems
The tour included demos of toolmaking, CNC machining, metrology inspection, CAD Design and Q&A session with some of our apprentices.
Only three out of ten careers teachers had previously been inside a factory, so the visit was a real eye opener.
