    Brief

    This opportunity involves providing engineering apprenticeships with first year block release training. Suppliers should deliver comprehensive apprenticeship programs that combine on-the-job training with structured classroom-based learning during the first year. The program aims to develop skilled engineering professionals through a combination of practical experience and theoretical instruction. Successful providers will need to demonstrate experience in vocational training delivery, curriculum development aligned with engineering standards, and the ability to accommodate block release schedules where apprentices attend training facilities for concentrated periods.
