National Apprenticeship Week 2021
Here at Dormor Machine & Engineering, we took part in National Apprenticeship Week which is an annual week-long celebration of apprenticeships that has been running for the past 14 years across England.
Since opening 40 years ago, we have developed our site in Middlesbrough and achieved significant growth. One of the major contributing factors to our sustainability and expansion is our commitment to provide apprenticeship opportunities to passionate and capable students.
Our highly skilled engineers have a wealth of experience to guide and train apprentices to become fully qualified Mechanical Engineers. Skills and knowledge transfer are crucial to maintaining our ability to provide high quality precision machining services.
Alongside being trained by a group of highly skilled individuals, at Dormor Machine we provide an extensive range of machining capabilities to learn; starting from manual Horizontal and Vertical Boring, Turning and Milling, progressing on to our impressive CNC Programming and Machining department. Our CNC capabilities range from 3 and 5 Axis CNC, CNC Lathes, CNC Turning and CNC Milling.
Throughout this challenging time, we continue to support our highly valued Apprenticeship programme with 12% of our workforce currently in apprenticeship training supported by Northern Skills Group and ITEC North East.
