Apprenticeship Support Scheme
“Engineering plays a vital role in the UK’s economic and societal wellbeing, providing quality employment on a large scale and some of the key solutions to major global challenges. In the face of technological advancements and a changing political and economic landscape, developing the pipeline to address the skills needs of the engineering sector remains a key challenge”.
The objective of the Brewing Engineers Association Apprenticeship Support Scheme is to provide support to engineering apprentices working in UK Breweries to help them to achieve their ambitions.
