FEATURE: Engineering your dream career with Myerscough College

Tomorrow’s Engineers Week shines a spotlight on engineering, engineering careers and engineering professionals. From individual engineers to professional engineering institutions and global engineering companies, it’s an opportunity to showcase modern engineering and inspirational engineers and technicians.

Building on last year’s success, this year's theme, ‘Power Up Your Passion’, aims to engage even more young people, demonstrating how their interests and passions can lead to exciting and fulfilling careers in engineering.

At Myerscough College and University Centre, a large variety of study programmes and apprenticeships offer a direct career path into the sector, across a variety of subjects, including Agricultural engineering, Motorsports, Farriery, Sportsturf, rail, construction and land-based engineering programmes.

Myerscough boasts a large intake of Railway Engineering Technician apprentices. The apprentices are employed within Northern Trains and East Midlands Railway depots across the country and have all just begun their learning journey with Myerscough.

They spend the first academic year as residential learners at Myerscough College’s main campus at Bilsborrow, utilising the College's multi-million-pound engineering centre to learn the basic principles of engineering and rail engineering technician knowledge. The remainder at their apprenticeship continues at their depots with their host employers, getting hands-on experience and gaining crucial skills, knowledge and behaviours.

In another example, Myerscough is one of the top centres for the training of engineering apprentices from across the industry. Working with a wide range of employers the college provides apprenticeships in Land-based Service Engineering at both Intermediate (Level 2) and Advanced (Level 3).

We try and equip learners with everything they need to grow with their employers and also in their own personal development. Our tutors are all industry qualified, and we work with the latest in technology advancements to ensure our programmes are fit for purpose and what industry is looking for.

Myerscough College has a long and proven track record of delivering a diverse range of further education study programmes where Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) are a key driver of provision.
