Employer Description

WEC Group's in-house Training Academy was founded in 2006 and is one of the only apprenticeship schemes of its type in the UK. The four-year welding/fabrication, CNC machining, and technical production engineering apprenticeships provide individuals in Lancashire, South Yorkshire, Liverpool, and surrounding areas with an opportunity to gain the relevant skills to carve out a successful career in engineering. Our Academy is one of only a few TWI (The Welding Institute) certified welder training centres in the North West, and our Training and Development Manager is a CSWIP certified welder instructor and examiner which ensures our apprentices are trained to the highest international standards.

Apprentices also work on exciting community projects throughout the year with local authorities, charities, and residents to develop their skill sets. Recent work has seen apprentices create a 5ft stainless steel statue in tribute to LS Lowry, a replica weathervane which was donated to a local church after the original was damaged in a storm, as well as a research space rocket for Starchaser Industries. Every year we enter our apprentices into a range of awards, and also into the prestigious WorldSkills UK competition as a testament to the world-class training they receive. Our welding/fabrication apprentices have won gold medals for three years in a row, as well as silver, bronze, and Highly Commended.

WEC Group are extremely proud to have been recognised in the UK's Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers list in 2014, 2016, and 2017. The National Apprenticeship Service Top 100 List recognises excellence in businesses that employ apprentices and showcases the breadth of employers who now offer apprenticeships. The Academy also won a range of awards over the past few years, including the BAE Systems Award for Large Employer of the Year in the Liverpool, Cumbria, and Lancashire region finals in 2016, 2018, and 2019. We were also awarded the National Highly Commended Award at the National Apprenticeships Awards 2018 and 2019. WEC Group are exceptionally proud to have achieved major national recognition after being crowned with The British Army Award for Large Employer of the Year at the National Apprenticeship Awards in 2020 and the Regional Award in 2022.
