Renishaw, a global leader in engineering technologies, is expanding its future workforce by welcoming 220 new recruits this year through its Early Careers programme. This intake comprises 63 apprentices, 100 graduates, and 57 industrial placement students, showcasing the company's commitment to nurturing young talent and investing in the next generation. It also reinforces its dedication to building a diverse and skilled workforce for the future.

Renishaw's Early Careers programme offers a wide range of schemes and encourages applicants from a diverse range of backgrounds with different skills and experience. Roles are available in Gloucestershire and South Wales and provide the opportunity to gain insight from industry-leading specialists, whilst working on real-life projects and products.

Applications for some of the 2025 graduate schemes are currently open with roles available in areas including engineering, manufacturing, software and electronics. The closing date for these applications is November 29, 2024. Further schemes in materials science, IT and business and marketing will open at the start of December.

Applications for industrial placements are also now open and will close on November 17, 2024. Industrial placements enable students to apply their academic learning to the workplace and contribute to projects under the guidance of Renishaw's skilled and experienced colleagues. Available positions include roles in communications, software, mechanical engineering and physics.

Applications for Renishaw's award-winning apprenticeship programme will open at the beginning of December until the end of February 2025, offering positions across a diverse range of roles, including manufacturing machining level 3, software engineer level 6, metrology apprenticeship level 3 and facilities project apprenticeship level 4. Renishaw apprenticeships are full-time, permanent jobs that give successful applicants formal training alongside work placements.

"Renishaw has always placed huge value on our Early Career's programmes as we are focussed on
building a diverse workforce that can meet future challenges," said Simon Biggs, Early Careers Manager at Renishaw. "Whichever early careers pathway you choose to follow, you will become part of a highly skilled, multi-disciplinary team working closely to design, develop, deliver and support the best outcomes for our customers. Our Early Careers programmes are not just about career aspirations though, you will also be able to participate in social activities and meet colleagues across the business."

To welcome the latest additions to the early careers programme, Renishaw organised a team-building weekend retreat in Monmouth, Wales, featuring activities like climbing, canoeing, and archery. Additionally, the early careers team hosted a barbecue for all new hires, providing a relaxed environment for socialising and building connections across the business. These initiatives aim to help new team members integrate smoothly into the company.
