Metsec has close links with local schools through the Black Country "Metals
Academy" and our apprentices have the opportunity of training to be Ambassadors
to help teachers with lessons and explain to 15 and 16 year olds the benefits of
being an Apprentice. Apprentices who have been Ambassadors have found it a very
worthwhile learning experience.
Local Company Visits
You will be visiting major companies in the industry such as Corus with Apprentices
working in other local companies. There are opportunities for competing in the Annual
MetSkill soccer tournament.
Outward Bound Course
All second year Apprentices are expected to participate in an Outward Bound week
in the Lake District aimed at developing decision making skills, team working and
leadership
“We are all better than we know, if only we can be brought to realize this,
we may never again be prepared to settle for anything less.”
Kurt Hahn - co-founder of "Outward Bound.”
