During National Apprenticeship Week 2024, we're thrilled to highlight the skills our apprentices are developing at Dormor Machine. Through our precision engineering apprenticeship program, apprentices like Michael are gaining valuable skills for a successful career in machining within the UK manufacturing industry.

During a recent interview, Michael provided insight into his apprenticeship experience:

We asked the apprentice 'what skills have you gained during your apprenticeship' to which the answer he gave was “During my apprenticeship at Dormor Machine, I’ve been learning to set up a machine, operate the manual lathe, and I’ve done a lot of drilling. I’ve also been learning how to organise the workload to meet deadlines and communicate as a team effectively.”

Key Learning Areas:

Technical Proficiency in Precision Engineering:

At Dormor Machine, apprentices like Michael are undergoing comprehensive training, mastering tasks such as setting up machines, operating the manual lathe, and refining drilling skills. As Michael progresses through his apprenticeship, he's poised to tackle advanced techniques like CNC machining, vital in today's precision engineering.

Time Management and Organisation:

In precision engineering, time management is crucial. Throughout his apprenticeship, Michael is learning to prioritise tasks and manage workloads efficiently, meeting project deadlines without compromising quality.

Clear Communication and Teamwork:

Effective communication and teamwork are vital in precision engineering. Michael actively participates in collaborative projects, refining his communication skills and understanding the value of teamwork in achieving common goals.

Skills for Life:

Michael's apprenticeship equips him with invaluable life skills beyond technical expertise. From time management and organisation, to clear communication and teamwork, these skills are the foundation for personal and professional growth. National Apprenticeship Week 2024 emphasises the broader impact of apprenticeships in developing well-rounded individuals ready for industry challenges.

Michael's journey at Dormor Machine illustrates the ongoing transformative power of apprenticeships in precision engineering. As we celebrate National Apprenticeship Week 2024, we commend Michael's dedication, and we are committed to supporting more apprentices in their career journeys.
