Register for Apprentice Automation Challenge 2021 to win £2,000

Do you want to develop your engineering skills and win £2,000?  If yes, the Apprentice Automation Challenge 2021 is now live.

Organised by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), this year’s Apprentice Automation Challenge provides throws down the gauntlet for teams of apprentices from businesses, colleges and training providers of engineering and manufacturing technologies from UK and overseas to register a team.

In line with the Institution’s core objective to develop the next generation of engineering talent, the Challenge provides the unique opportunity for apprentices to design and manufacture a product to automate a task in the home or garden.

It could be a device to help get you out of bed in the morning, or something to make an otherwise boring task easier and quicker to do. Regardless, it provides applicants with the scope to learn and develop new skills and practical abilities.

Apprenticeships are a great route into a career in engineering, equipping people with the skills needed to be an asset to any business. Empowering apprentices to showcase their skills and giving them a platform to be creative is essential for growth and instilling confidence.
