Happy Vocational Celebration Day!
Today, we're celebrating the power of vocational education and the opportunities it creates for learners, employers and the engineering industry.
Apprenticeships provide the chance to earn, learn and develop the practical skills needed for a successful career in engineering. Every day, we're proud to support apprentices as they gain the knowledge, confidence and hands-on experience that will shape the future of manufacturing and engineering.
Jordan's journey is a fantastic example of what vocational education can achieve. At the age of 26, Jordan joined GET in 2019 after being out of education for several years. Since then, he has successfully completed his Level 3 Engineering apprenticeship, followed by an HNC and HND, completing in July 2026.
His story is an inspiration, showing that it's never too late to learn new skills, progress your career or take a new direction. Whether you're leaving school or considering a career change, vocational education can open the door to incredible opportunities.
A huge thank you to our apprentices, employer partners and dedicated staff who make vocational education such a success.
Here's to inspiring the next generation of engineers! ⚙️🔩
