What should I do now?
Have a look through our website to learn more about our company. If you like what you see, why not show it to your parents (including this page), and discuss it with them? If you are then seriously interested, we can arrange to meet with you (and your parents should they wish to join you) to show you our operation and to discuss our apprentice program in more detail.

What can I expect?
The great thing about apprenticeships is that you can start earning while you are learning new skills. Once you have completed your three year apprenticeship, and we think you have earned a place within our organisation, we will make you an offer of full-time salaried employment with great career and promotional prospects ahead of you. Needless-to-say, the learning and developing of your engineering skills will then continue.

What will I be doing?
As an apprentice, we will train you how to operate sophisticated CNC machines, multi-axis milling and how to use precise measurement tools in temperature controlled rooms. You will be trained how to use the latest CAD / CAM software to set up an engineering task. You will learn about precision manufacturing, quality control and how different materials behave. As your skills grow, you will be introduced to increasingly sophisticated techniques and how to manufacture more complex components. You will eventually learn how to make precision parts to the highest standards of quality and accuracy, using some of the most advanced machines and tooling available today. You will eventually graduate as a precision engineer while acquiring skills and knowhow that are at the cutting edge of engineering technology.

Sounds great, but how do I know if engineering is really the career for me?
If you like making things with your hands and believe you are mechanically-minded, it’s simple to find out whether you might like to turn this into a career. It starts with a little exploration first – why not come down to our factory for a day, take a guided tour and meet the team? Talk to other apprentices about their experiences and what they have learned with us. Bring your parents along too if you would like. Lunch is also included! Afterwards, you will have plenty of time to reflect on what you have seen, and you can then decide if an apprenticeship with JK Engineering is something that you would like to take further. It is really as simple as that.

I’m interested, so what are the next steps?
Simply fill out the JK Engineering Apprenticeship ENQUIRY FORM we will call you back shortly to answer any questions you may have, and to make all of the arrangements for your visit. We look forward to seeing you soon and welcoming you to our factory.
