Applications for Renishaw's award-winning apprenticeship programme will open at the beginning of December until the end of February 2025, offering positions across a diverse range of roles, including manufacturing machining level 3, software engineer level 6, metrology apprenticeship level 3 and facilities project apprenticeship level 4. Renishaw apprenticeships are full-time, permanent jobs that give successful applicants formal training alongside work placements.

“Renishaw has always placed huge value on our Early Career's programmes as we are focussed on
building a diverse workforce that can meet future challenges,” said Simon Biggs, Early Careers Manager at Renishaw. “Whichever early careers pathway you choose to follow, you will become part of a highly skilled, multi-disciplinary team working closely to design, develop, deliver and support the best outcomes for our customers. Our Early Careers programmes are not just about career aspirations though, you will also be able to participate in social activities and meet colleagues across the business.”

To welcome the latest additions to the early careers programme, Renishaw organised a team-building weekend retreat in Monmouth, Wales, featuring activities like climbing, canoeing, and archery. Additionally, the early careers team hosted a barbecue for all new hires, providing a relaxed environment for socialising and building connections across the business. These initiatives aim to help new team members integrate smoothly into the company.
