Apprenticeship Program
A strong commitment to apprenticeships has always been a guiding philosophy of Buckley Systems. Training young people with the right attitude has paid off for our business by producing a highly skilled and loyal workforce. Our experienced, specialists mentor the apprentices to ensure that the knowledge required to manufacture our precision devices is passed down. Some of our management team started at Buckley Systems as apprentices and bring their depth of practical experience to their senior roles.
Apprenticeships are offered in CNC Machining, Fabrication, and Electrical Engineering. Places in our apprenticeship program are highly sought after, as the size of the business and the type of work we do, provides a wealth of experience. At Buckley Systems, we work closely with local colleges and pre-trade training providers to select candidates with the right attitude. We look for people who are already engaged with manufacturing, thirsty for knowledge and have a “can do” approach to solving problems. Existing staff who have worked with us for several years can also apply for adult apprenticeships.
We currently employ an average of twenty apprentices or pre-apprentices in training. Pre-apprentices undergo a six-month, paid internship, where they work in different departments to get an understanding of the whole manufacturing process and also find the particular field that suits them best. Once accepted, our technical training manager works closely with trade training organisation Competenz, to ensure all the appropriate qualification standards are completed on time.
