Career launchpad for novice technicians

To help develop talent for the future, Sepura has launched a new apprenticeship scheme which will welcome its first apprentices in January.

The programme, run in association with Cambridge Regional College (CRC), focuses on training engineers in a variety of roles in product development function. Selected apprentices will spend four days per week at Sepura’s Cambridge headquarters, with the emphasis on gaining practical experience. They will also spend one day per week studying at CRC, consolidating this experience with the theory and knowledge which are also key aspects of an engineer’s role.

Gordon Watling, Sepura’s chief executive officer, said: “This programme will provide an enviable opportunity for the selected apprentices to develop their skills and to gain real-world experience. They will also be helping Sepura to design and test the future generations of market-leading digital radio solutions, so it is an excellent programme for all concerned.”
