Opportunities on Mid Wales graduate scheme
A Newtown manufacturer is calling for would-be engineers to fill vacancies on its graduate scheme.
Control Techniques, which employs more than 600 people in the town, is one of the companies involved in the the Electrical Energy Engineering Academy.
Designed to fast-track young engineering talent into careers by providing financial support in the form of a bursary, as well as a minimum of eight weeks paid work placement throughout each year of the course, and a provisional job offer upon completion of the degree, the academy is a joint venture between organisations from the electrical industry and the universities of Bristol, Nottingham and Newcastle.
Control Techniques is now hoping to attract local talent from around its headquarters in Newtown, with a view to
sponsoring them through university.
Other engineering or business student options are also available covering a range of different careers, with the company especially keen to take locally-based people under its wing.
The three universities each offer the E3-approved four year Masters programme in electrical and electronics engineering.
Roland Lee, global recruitment manager at Control Techniques, said: "The academy is a great way for the next generation of talent to secure themselves the support of a major organisation, as well as the security that comes from knowing a provisional job offer will be forthcoming upon completion of your studies.
"Control Techniques has been an integral part of the Mid Wales business landscape for decades and takes its responsibility to the local area seriously. It is for this reason that we are particularly keen to offer opportunities like this to anyone locally and would urge anyone who is interested to get in touch so we can guide them through the application process.
"We have plenty of examples of younger people joining the company and progressing through the ranks and are keen to ensure this commitment to Newtown remains a feature of the business as we continue to grow and expand our global footprint."
Students in years 12 and 13, as well as recent school leavers, are invited to contact Control Techniques to find out more about E3, or any other opportunities within the company.
