Working in conjunction with the Level 3 Business Administration Apprenticeship Standard, then specialising in a role specific Apprenticeship Standard, we’ll teach you the skills you need to succeed – combining classroom learning with hands-on experience in real, industry-focused environments.
Training to be Provided
At GKN Aerospace, in partnership with the Isle of Wight College and working in conjunction with the Level 3 Business Administration Apprenticeship Standard, then specialising in a role specific Level 4 Apprenticeship Standard in Years 3 & 4, we’ll teach you the skills you need to succeed – combining classroom learning with hands-on experience in real, industry-focused environments. With our expert support, your curiosity, and a can-do attitude, there’s no limit to what you can achieve.
In order to gain a thorough understanding of our products, processes, roles and people within the business, throughout your apprenticeship you will rotate around a number of departments, which may include but not limited to: Programme Management, Procurement and Supply Chain Management. This will allow you to evidence the Knowledge, Skills and Behaviours of your Apprenticeship Standard.
