Training
At Tiro we’re obsessed with changing lives through science and technology apprenticeships so we can’t wait to have you on board.
Over 24 months, you’ll devote a minimum of 6 hours of your working week on ‘off the job’ training. This can include theory training (for example, virtual lessons & online learning), alongside practical training (for example shadowing, mentoring, & time spent writing assignments. Together this will count towards a Level 3 Science Manufacturing Technician apprenticeship. You’ll be trained by an expert tutor from Tiro as well as an experienced mentor at Geosense who together, will make sure you develop the knowledge, skills and work habits you’ll need to succeed in your career.
Being an apprentice is hands-on, so you’ll get the chance to learn things you might otherwise not have experienced in a university or college environment.
The best part? You’ll be earning a salary while you gain your qualifications, meaning no huge student loans to pay back at the end of the programme!
There’s no limit to what you can achieve if you work for Geosense, with potential for the successful applicant to be offered a full-time position working with the business at the end of the apprenticeship.
Through ‘on-the-job’ training you’ll have the opportunity to learn new skills including working safely in a science manufacturing environment, understanding personal responsibility for Health, Safety and the Environment and principles of risk management as well as the quality procedures to meet the requirements of quality standards relevant to the workplace.
If design and engineering interest you, then there is an opportunity to work alongside the R & D department, where you can learn more about CAD, CAM and CNC manufacturing techniques.
