AWE highlights National Apprenticeship Week

It’s National Apprenticeship Week and AWE’s award-winning apprenticeships are filling up fast!

AWE’s Skills Academy has a long and proud history, with thousands of young people completing their apprenticeships since it opened its doors more than 70 years ago; many are now in senior leadership roles at AWE.

AWE’s apprentices have the opportunity to work in world-class facilities, gaining the knowledge and experience to build a successful career. Our apprenticeships also offer an alternative to university; ranging from intermediate level to a Level 6 Bachelors Degree, covering a broad spectrum of professional skills from Engineering to Project Management.

Mark Lewis, AWE’s head of skills and training, said: “Our focus on training and development enables career progression throughout the organization. We are committed to fostering a workplace culture that celebrates and embraces diversity, ensuring equity for all employees and promoting an inclusive environment.”

Regardless of their chosen path, from day one our apprentices are developing not just their technical capability, but also the personal and business skills required to be successful in future roles.

VE Day at Aldermaston

80 years ago, the European part of the Second World War came to an end. On the 8th of May 1945 - known as Victory in Europe Day or VE Day - celebrations erupted around the world to mark this.  Aldermaston had played its part in the liberation of Western Europe as it formed the launch point and training ground for American airborne operations for the 101st Airborne Division, nicknamed the "Screaming Eagles”, during D-Day a year earlier and the failed Operation Market Garden.
