What does the Electrical and Electronic Engineering Degree Apprenticeship Scheme involve day to day?
AnElectrical and Electronic Engineering Degree Apprenticeship with JCB is an opportunity to learn and qualify with a true standard-bearer in British Engineering. A company whose machines have brought major change to agriculture and construction that, behind the scenes, have a real impact on the way we live. In the works right now is a pioneering new hydrogen engine that will help drive us towards a zero-carbon future. Innovation is vital here and that’s exactly what makes working at JCB so exciting. Not to mention worthwhile.
Completing the programme at Warwick Manufacturing Group will earn you a bachelor’s Engineering Degree but, not only that, you’ll also be in a role with a global innovator that the world is always watching. You don’t get that when you take the conventional university route.
