ITC Employs Two Apprentices

As a UK manufacturer that is committed to playing its role in building the skill base of British manufacturing, Industrial Tooling Corporation (ITC) has now employed two new apprentices. The Tamworth cutting tool manufacturer has a long tradition of employing engineering apprentices and it is delighted to welcome the arrival of Danny Cockbill and Blaine Hughes as the 2021 cohort.

The new additions to the ITC team have already undergone academic engineering studies at a local college and their arrival at ITC will certainly set the two teenagers on a fulfilling career in engineering. During their 4 year apprenticeships, the two new apprentices will be exposed to a comprehensive practical and academic programme that will see the new starters learn their trade on state-of-the-art technology.

Prior to and throughout the pandemic, ITC has invested extensively in new CNC grinding machines and peripheral equipment to retain its position as a leading UK manufacturer of high-quality innovative cutting tool solutions. It is within this high-tech environment that Danny and Blaine will both gain valuable experience and academic skill sets that will set them on a path to fulfilling manufacturing careers.

Commenting upon the appointments, ITC Director Georgia Graves says: “Over the last 9 years we have recruited more than 10 apprentices that have become valued members of our continually growing team. Developing the engineers of tomorrow is the lifeblood of any manufacturing business and we are delighted to welcome our latest apprentices. Like our continued investment in technology and advancing our product offering, investing in the engineers of the future is a commitment that we take very seriously at ITC.”
