Description

There is a continuing demand to provide engineering apprentices to SDA’s engineering function through the continuation of bespoke SDA apprenticeship schemes, which are necessary to support the Engineering strategy. The Nuclear Degree Apprenticeship has a duration of up to 4 years, spanning 5 financial years for each intake. The apprentices’ first year shall be spent full-time at college (with workshop type training) and years 2 to 4 as a mixture of further academic study and work placements within SDA project teams. This will result in both technical and academic qualification (ultimately a bachelor's degree) together with workplace experience providing a beneficial mix of technical knowledge, and broader Success Profile development. Scheme provision is for up to 30 apprentices per each academic year (for 3 years). The scheme has (and intends to continue to do so) exploited the Apprentice Levy which provides a significant amount of the training cost of the scheme. In order to use the Levy, approved standards must be adopted. Currently this is: ST0289 Nuclear Scientist and Engineer (Level 6).

The specifications of this requirement have been outlined in the ITT which can be accessed via DSP as well as a brief description below. The bidder must be able to comply with the apprentice standards, which for this course is currently ST0289 Nuclear Scientist and Engineer (Level 6). All details of this standard are listed on the Institute for Apprenticeships website. Engineering and manufacturing support technician / Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education It is to be expected that the trainer will develop and deliver the training curriculum that supports the development of SQEP trainees within Engineering. The course should provide both on the job training and classroom-based learning, with a variation of classroom, online or workshop settings. The course should provide the apprentices with a Level 3 Qualification after successful completion of the course. Alongside the course, the Performing Engineering Operations (PEO) is to be included, as per the apprentice standards. The training facilities must be accessible for the attendance of the apprentices with the majority of Apprentices being within the Southwest Region. Although not essential, it is also desirable that the facilities have public transport connections with access to accommodation for the students (whether onsite or local). This is to ensure the welfare of the students is accommodated.
