Engineer your dream career with Myerscough College

Tomorrow’s Engineers Week shines a spotlight on engineering, engineering careers and engineering professionals.

From individual engineers to professional engineering institutions and global engineering companies, it’s an opportunity to showcase modern engineering and inspirational engineers and technicians.

This year’s theme, ‘Dare to Discover’, shows young people that trial and error are at the heart of engineering and tech.

At Myerscough College and University Centre, a large variety of study programmes and apprenticeships offer a direct career path into the sector, across a variety of subjects, including agricultural engineering, motorsports, farriery, sportsturf, rail, construction and land-based engineering programmes.

Myerscough boasts a large intake of Railway Engineering Technician apprentices. The apprentices are employed within Northern Trains at depots across the country.

They spend the first academic year as residential learners at Myerscough College’s main campus at Bilsborrow, utilising the College's multi-million-pound engineering centre to learn the basic principles of engineering and rail engineering technician knowledge. The remainder at their apprenticeship continues at their depots with their host employers, getting hands-on experience and gaining crucial skills, knowledge and behaviours.

In another example, Myerscough is one of the top centres for the training of engineering apprentices from across the industry. Working with a wide range of employers the college provides apprenticeships in Land-based Service Engineering at both Intermediate (Level 2) and Advanced (Level 3).
