ENGINEERING THE
    FUTURE
    HETA provides specialist training for young
    people who are looking to join the world of
    engineering through an apprenticeship
    programme.

    A HETA apprenticeship is like no other. It’s real
    work from day one - real experience, real wages,
    and first-class training from engineers who are
    experts in their fields.

    Offering hands-on training and links to over 350
    companies within the region, an apprenticeship
    with HETA is the best route into a career in
    engineering.

    Engineering doesn’t always mean heavy lifting,
    oily overalls or dirty workshops – although those
    are still vital parts of many jobs. Many engineering
    roles are based in offices, studios or laboratories.

    Today’s fast-moving high-tech world demands a
    wide variety of engineering skills focused on
    computers and electronics, and sectors like
    renewable energy involve creating sleek, pristine
    components in clean, bright manufacturing
    facilities.

Throughout my career, I have supported
    multiple events to encourage other young
    women into engineering careers.

    My advice to anyone pursuing a career in
    engineering is to simply enjoy it –
    especially at HETA as time flies. When
    undergoing your first year of training,
    work closely with the instructors and do
    not be afraid to ask any questions.

At school I felt as though as I was being
     told what to do, but during my
     apprenticeship I have been able to focus
     on my career and the specific skills I need
     to progress.

     I started my training at HETA as a trainee,
     and did everything I could to stand out as
     it can be very competitive. By working
     with the HETA team on my employability
     skills, I felt I had an advantage over those
     who may not have seen the employability
