Ready to build something amazing?
Our four-year Apprenticeship Programme, at our East Cowes facility, is your chance to dive into the world of cutting-edge manufacturing and engineering — no experience needed. You’ll learn by doing, get paid while you train, and grow your skills alongside experienced colleagues who will support you all the way.
At GKN Aerospace, in partnership with the Isle of Wight College and working in conjunction with either the Level 3 Aerospace Engineering Technician or Level 4 Engineering Manufacturing Technician Apprenticeship Standard, we’ll teach you the skills you need to succeed – combining classroom learning with hands-on experience in real, industry-focused environments. With our expert support, your curiosity, and a can-do attitude, there’s no limit to what you can achieve – both options could potentially lead to an opportunity to achieve an Engineering Degree.
Build Your Future in Aerospace!
In this technical role, you’ll be part of a team delivering the future – whether it is Design, Stress, Manufacturing or Quality Engineering – don’t worry, we’ll teach you how! You will gain real transferable skills that matter, from creating initial design concepts to certifying products for delivery. Your work helps aircraft take flight – it’s exciting and open to everyone. If you enjoy problem solving, teamwork, and making things happen, this is your launch pad to a powerful future.
