Thinking about life after school or perhaps a change in career? Maybe you enjoy fi xing things? Maybe you prefer doing hands-on practical work? Or perhaps you are looking for an opportunity to learn a new skill? An opportunity has arisen at Lerwick Power Station for a Mechanical Apprenticeship. Choosing our Apprenticeship Programme will allow you to continue earning whilst you’re learning.
Our Apprenticeship Programme offers the chance to learn new skills whilst working towards gaining your qualifi cation. You are supported every step of the way by our Apprentice Programme Team, your SSE colleagues who you’ll work with during your on the job training and also by the support you will receive from your college tutors. The majority of our apprentices attend college on a block release arrangement for several weeks at any one time; this will mean you may have to live away from home for short periods of time.
By the end of your three or four year programme you’ll have achieved a Modern Apprentice qualification, City & Guilds Technical Certificate and NVQ (or SVQ in Scotland) level 2 and 3. Plus you will have a guaranteed job with SSE on completion with potential for career progression.
You don’t need any experience to apply. You just need to have an interest in the work we do at SSE, an appreciation of our core values, particularly safety and the desire to do well. To meet the college requirements you’ll need a minimum of 4 GCSEs (grade C or above or a minimum of a grade 4/ 5 Nationals in Scotland) to include Maths, English and a Science or Craft subject. Successful applicants will be asked to supply copies of certificates.
