The West Midlands is set for an industry boost following the launch of a new scheme of Civil Engineering apprenticeships in the region. 100 new jobs in construction, predominantly in the rail industry, are set to be created by construction firm Amey who has unveiled its new national Apprenticeship Academy.

The Network Rail centre in Walsall will be the training hub for the scheme which features a ‘mock rail environment’, where experienced rail professionals will provide training and skills to apprentices seeking to work in engineering. Amey is looking beyond purely training apprentices though, with opportunities available to complete the Gold Duke of Edinburgh's Award, study National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs), and undertake work placements.
Amey chief executive, Mel Ewell, spoke about the new scheme and what it has to offer: "The programme is designed specifically to help young people negotiate an extremely tough jobs market and learn practical skills that will give them real, long-term career prospects."
Those who make it onto the scheme will take part in exciting projects, including CEFA - a national infrastructure project to examine every single bridge, signal box and tunnel owned and operated by Network Rail.
