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. 2 3
