Engineering is integral to so many operations of the County Council so it is essential to maintain a constant pipeline of talent – and all of the council’s apprenticeship programmes, both past and present, have featured excellent female apprentices. 

Dan Nash, Resourcing Practitioner: Early Careers, at Warwickshire County Council, said: "Engineering apprenticeships have long been part of the council's overall apprenticeship scheme. We have grown our own talented apprentice engineers for many years. Our Transport and Highways services offer such a great learning environment for aspiring engineers and I'm proud that included in their long list of successful apprentices are female engineers. 

"Our engineering apprenticeship offer incorporates Civil Engineering qualifications at Level 3, Level 4, and degree level and we also use the Transport Planning degree apprenticeship too. Two of our current Civil Engineer degree apprentices are female engineers who started with us immediately after completing their A Levels, and it's wonderful to be able to provide them with the opportunity to work on genuine major engineering projects, as well as attend university to gain a degree and apply what they learn into their job role here.

"It is a highly demanding apprenticeship, six years long and a lot of work, but they are working their way through it and on their way to a superb career in the engineering industry."
