The Schaeffler Group is committed to investing in the future of engineering and in persuading more youngsters to develop their careers in this profession. The company is delighted to sponsor Engineering Careers, a unique vehicle for promoting the benefits of engineering apprenticeship schemes, which we hope will go from strength to strength over the coming years.

The Schaeffler Group has a strong tradition of providing engineering apprenticeship schemes for its employees – in the UK and in Germany.

The Schaeffler Group now employs around 1,300 apprentices, across commercial and technical disciplines, and also provides numerous opportunities for pre- and postgraduate students in practical training and scientific work.

WNT is a great advocate of apprentice training and is rightly proud of the role that its own, apprenticetrained, technical sales engineers have played in the success of the company here in the UK.

WNT truly values the knowledge that these individuals possess and the skills and applicationsbased experience that they can bring to bear on the shopfloor of its customers. In using these skills, and developing them, WNT is playing an important part in improving UK productivity through combining technical knowledge with the latest in cutting tool technology. This enthusiasm for developing skills stems from its membership of the Ceratizit Group, which invests heavily in training and apprenticeships in its own manufacturing facilities around the world and, as such, WNT is proud to sponsor Engineering Careers.
