Renold Gears based in Milnrow is celebrating the success of a diverse workforce through Apprenticeships. The team  innovates in delivering the highest precision-engineered power transmission products to all industries worldwide. Their market-leading products can be seen in diverse applications from cement making to chocolate manufacturing, subway trains to power stations, escalators to quarries; in fact, anywhere something needs to be lifted, moved, rotated, or conveyed. 

New Apprentice, Elspeth is currently completing a Level 2 Engineering Operative Apprenticeship following a structured learning programme to learn the skills, knowledge, and behaviours that she needs to be a successful Engineer. After completing her Level 2 qualification Elspeth will be moving on to her Level 3 before hoping to complete her HNC/HND qualification. 

Elspeth said “I enjoy my Apprenticeship as it’s a hands-on learning environment with a focus on practical skills I need to succeed in the engineering industry. An Apprenticeship works for me, as I get paid to learn and spend my time between Rochdale Training and Renold Gears”. 

Nathan Finn, Recruitment Officer of Rochdale Training said “Elspeth, started her journey via Rochdale Training by attending an open evening and registering her interest in a career in Engineering. Throughout Year 11 Elspeth stayed in contact with us and we knew she would make a great addition to any company that she went out to interview for. Engineering Apprenticeship qualifications are delivered in a number of different ways here at Rochdale Training depending on how the employer wants their Apprentice to learn”.
