Apprenticeships with
HETA
HETA provides a service to the Engineering and Process
industries located in the Yorkshire and Humber region by offering a
full range of apprentice training. The apprenticeship
training takes 3 - 4 years to complete and is recognised not only
across the Humber Bank but also nationally. This is achieved
through a programme that combines academic and practical work both
on production sites and within training workshops.
This involves 26 - 46 weeks training for school, college leavers
and other new recruits in the HETA workshops situated in Hull or
Grimsby. The first 26 weeks of training are spent on the NVQ
Level 2 – Performing Engineering Operations, followed by a
specialisation in the relevant discipline. The training
programme is made up of 3 mandatory units:
• Working Safely in an
Engineering Environment
• Developing Yourself
and Working with Other People on Engineering Activities
• Using and
Communicating Technical Information.
It also includes a mix of units from the following
disciplines:
Milling Electrical PLC
(Programmable Logic Controllers)
Turning
Electronics Sheet
metalwork
Fitting
Welding CAD
(Computer Aided Drawing)
Pneumatics
Plating
Instrumentation
All training is to Awarding Body
standards.
During their time in the HETA workshop, apprentices also
complete the five key skills required as part of the Apprenticeship
Framework
Communication
Application of Number
Working with Others
Improve Own Learning
Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
After the workshop training is completed, apprentices then move
back into their own company and commence working towards the
appropriate NVQ Level 3. HETA personnel conduct regular visits to
review and ensure progress towards agreed targets. This is achieved
by providing support, advice, guidance and counselling to
apprentices, supervisors, assessors and training managers by
