A win-win response to the Industry 4.0 revolution

As data integration has risen in priority, so too has the need for a new breed of specialist to manage digital work flow.
The Digital Engineering Apprenticeship program seeks out passionate, technically minded school leavers to partner with top-tier businesses in a 3-year paid-to-learn training model. The first-of-kind apprenticeship has been developed at the direct request of business leaders from across the engineering community to produce the digital specialists they want on their teams. Higher Apprentices meet the digital needs of businesses and gain real-world project experience while earning an industry recognised qualification in a partnership giving rise to a new class of para-professional.

Enter the 'new collar' worker. Enter the Digital Apprentice.
