Ten new apprentices have started their careers with Nexus as part of the ongoing apprenticeship scheme run by the company. They are all embarking on a four year Engineering Maintenance Technician apprenticeship having been chosen from over 500 applications.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Cathy Massarella, Nexus Managing Director, said: \u201cCongratulations to all our new apprentices. We\u2019re delighted they chose us and hope this is the beginning of a fulfilling, challenging and enjoyable career with Nexus.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re an essential public service in the region, and on top of the day-to-day operations, we\u2019re also leading on some huge projects, so it\u2019s a great time to join us. Apprentices are the future of our workforce and I\u2019m looking forward to seeing this group progress.\u201d<\/p>\n
During their training, the apprentices will learn how to maintain key aspects of Nexus infrastructure, including ticket machines and ticket gates, lifts and escalators, CCTV, fire alarms, station lighting and more.<\/p>\n
The apprentices will spend the next few months with TDR Training, learning practical mechanical, electrical and fitting skills, before joining their teams at Nexus for their on-the-job training.<\/p>\n
Mirren Smith, 17, is one of the new cohort: \u201cI\u2019m really interested in how things work, so this apprenticeship seemed ideal. I can\u2019t wait to get started with the training and work with the maintenance teams.\u201d<\/p>\n
Glen Hind, 36, had previously been a Police Officer and lived abroad before returning to the UK. He added: \u201cI\u2019ve always wanted to find a trade and I\u2019m really keen to learn new skills and put them into practice so this is ideal. It\u2019s time for a fresh start and I\u2019m really looking forward it to.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ally Jennings, HR Manager at Nexus, said: \u201cApprenticeships are vital for our long-term future and are an ideal route for both us and the apprentices. They provide us with fresh ideas, new thinking and solid succession planning for critical roles, and the apprentices learn bespoke skills and competencies.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have gained countless skilled and engaged permanent employees who first joined us as apprentices, and we\u2019re looking forward to the 2026 cohort joining them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
