MORE THAN ONE PATH TO A CAREER
At Simmtronic, apprenticeships wear more than one hat. Inspired by the success of our Electrical Apprenticeship Scheme, we have introduced additional programmes, including a degree apprenticeship focused on Electrical Building Services Design and a support scheme for those looking to charter in their respective field of expertise.
A WIN-WIN SITUATION
All of our apprentices enjoy market-leading salaries, with travel and expenses paid on top. We provide all training materials and tools needed for both their role, including brand new laptops. You’re one of us from the very beginning, with mentors in abundance and cross-dimensional training delivered as standard for all new team-members.
Apprenticeships | The future of talent development
Angela Barnes (HR Manager, MCIPD) highlights the immense value of apprenticeships for both businesses and apprentices, calling them a “win situation for both.” Apprentices gain real-world experience, earn while they learn, and benefit from the guidance of experienced professionals—all without accumulating student debt. “They get to learn, in the real world, get paid, and they’ve got the benefit of all experienced professional staff around them to support them.”
For businesses, apprentices bring fresh enthusiasm and develop valuable skills “from the ground up.” Many go on to secure full-time roles, strengthening company culture and building long-term relationships with colleagues and clients. “They become part of the family, part of the company, and then they’re fully experienced and qualified and ready to run.” Angela emphasizes that apprenticeships are “the future for talent,” with opportunities across multiple disciplines beyond traditional trades.
She shares a powerful success story of an apprentice who started as a labourer, was recognized for their potential, offered an apprenticeship, and ultimately worked their way up to Managing Director. This, she says, is a testament to how apprenticeships don’t just create jobs—they build long-term careers and future leaders.

With hands-on experience, strong mentorship, and exposure to the latest technology, Simmtronic apprentices not only bridge critical skill gaps but also drive efficiency and creativity within the company. Many go on to build long-term careers, like lead technical engineer Jack Burns, who started as an apprentice and worked his way up.
