Go North East seeks engineering apprentices

If you’re looking for an exciting career in engineering with the North East’s largest bus operator – look no further.

Go North East is seeking six engineering apprentices to join their highly-skilled teams across the region.

You don't have to have previous experience, as full training will be provided, but you should have passion for engineering and learning new skills.

The apprentices will enter into a four-year programme to learn the skills of Electricians, Fitters and Coach Builders, with both on-the-job training and day release learning at Gateshead College’s state-of-the-art Skills Academy for Automotive, Engineering, Manufacturing and Logistics.

Although primarily aimed at 16 to 18 year olds, the apprenticeship is open to anyone, who has gained or is expected to achieve four GCSEs at grade A to C or equivalent including English, Maths and Science. The annual salary is £8,400.
