Course Summary
Course Category: Traineeship Courses
CMETB in partnership with Combilift have collaborated to develop a Traineeship course to teach learners about engineering and to prepare them for work as Assembly Technicians with Combilift. Combilift plan to double their production over the next five years and have identified a need for skilled employees in helping to achieve this. The aim of this course is to combine theory and practical industry experience to deliver a solid understanding of Engineering before the trainee enters full-time employment with Combilift.
A traineeship combines classroom-based learning with work based learning which is delivered in a host company thus providing the opportunity to develop skills, knowledge and competence within a supportive working environment.

The Student - Career Interests
This course is typically suited for people with the following Career Interests:
Realist
Realists are usually interested in 'things' - such as buildings, mechanics, equipment, tools, electronics etc. Their primary focus is dealing with these - as in building, fixing, operating or designing them. Involvement in these areas leads to high manual skills, or a fine aptitude for practical design - as found in the various forms of engineering.
Realists like to find practical solutions to problems using tools, technology and skilled work. Realists usually prefer to be active in their work environment, often do most of their work alone, and enjoy taking decisive action with a minimum amount of discussion and paperwork.
