Tobermore Academy Apprenticeships give the opportunity to ‘earn as you learn’ by combining on-the-job experience with study at college.

Paving and walling manufacturer Tobermore has launched a new Apprenticeship Scheme for school leavers and pupils receiving their GCSEs this summer. 

Tobermore Academy Apprenticeships give the opportunity to ‘earn as you learn’ by combining on-the-job experience with study at college.

Apprentices will gain real life experience and understanding of the production process. They will also have day release to attend college where they will study towards a third level qualification.

The hard landscaping manufacturer is seeking quality apprentices that are ‘mechanically minded’ to join its Production Facility at Tobermore, based near Magherafelt, Northern Ireland.

Tobermore Academy is now recruiting young people to apply for the role of ‘Apprentice Maintenance Fitters.’ The apprentices will work within Tobermore’s Maintenance Team and will have designated mentors throughout their Training.

David Henderson, Managing Director of Tobermore, said: "We have identified Apprenticeships as a key priority for the future success of our business. This Apprenticeship Scheme forms part of our ambitious £30 million expansion plans.

"While earning as they learn, these bright apprentices will be sharpening specific skills needed by our business. This scheme will be invaluable for young people to access a great start in their career. Remember, University isn’t the only route towards qualifications and a good career.”

Tobermore is inviting applicants to apply before the closing date of 12 March 2021.
