Regional Recognition for Brinsworth Learners

When it comes to accepting praise, it is always an even greater achievement when that praise comes from external sources. That is certainly the case with two of Brinsworth Training's current learners that have been recognised in regional awards for their engineering skills.

Newburgh Engineering trainee Chloe Jones has been named winner of the Rotherham Young Apprentice Programme. Led by the Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council and Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council respectively, the Barnsley and Rotherham Young Apprentice Programmes were designed as a new route to learning at Key Stage 4, which allows motivated and talented students to study for an apprenticeship in school or college, as well as getting real life experience in a work environment.

The Rotherham Young Apprentice Programme is led by RMBC.

Chloe age 17 and from Thorpe Hesley, is one of a number of apprentices who has since progressed onto the New ERA apprentice training programme, set up by Rotherham-based Newburgh Engineering, Brinsworth Training and Air Accessories.

The New ERA programme was set up in response to employers’ concerns about a lack of the comprehensive, hi-tech training needed to give young people the skills their companies need and is designed to create a highly skilled breed of young engineers delivered over a duration of 42 weeks.

Chloe received her award at Brinsworth Training Centre, from Marie Boswell on behalf of the Rotherham Young Apprentice Programme.

Meanwhile, Second-year DavyMarkham CNC machining apprentice Jonathan Cheeseman has been shortlisted for the Cutlers Company apprentice award.

The Cutlers Company, which represents all manufacturing industry in the South Yorkshire region, is showing its support for apprentices and students through its Joint Education Awards.

In association with the Worshipful Company of Armourers & Brasiers, the awards will be presented later this month to recognise the importance of education and learning.

They aim to encourage further reading and travel in pursuit of knowledge and continuing expertise. The Joint Awards Ceremony takes place on March 29.
