Real Journeys. Real Growth. Real Impact.
From Apprentices to Industry Leaders
At CEMA, apprenticeships aren’t just the first step, they’re a launchpad. Many of our team members, including directors, senior engineers, and technical specialists, began their careers right here as apprentices.
From building high‑quality products, to designing electrical systems, developing automation software, or installing and commissioning equipment in the field, there are many directions a career can grow.

Engineering Success Through Collaboration
Our partnership with CEMA exemplifies the power of collaboration between education and industry. Together, we have created pathways that not only recruit talented apprentices into Level 3 and Level 4 programmes but also ensure full-time learners receive training aligned with the highest industry standards. As active members of our Industry Advisory and Employer Boards for Engineering and Electrical, CEMA’s insight helps us shape curriculum that meets real world needs.
Beyond the classroom, CEMA supports our T Level students with invaluable work placements, often leading to apprenticeship opportunities within their business. Their engagement in our ‘Future Me’ events and Apprenticeship Open Evenings provides students and parents with a genuine window into engineering careers.
CEMA’s generosity extends to donating equipment for our new Electrical and Engineering Centre at our Ruddington campus and championing our apprenticeship awards, through which they have received multiple accolades for the support they show their apprentices and the college.
This partnership is a true example of how working together drives innovation, nurtures talent, and strengthens the future workforce.
