Future Talent

Our apprenticeships are varied and there is something here for everyone, from AAT, Business Administration, CIPD, Customer Service to Engineering apprenticeships.

"I joined igus 3 years straight after finishing my A levels as a Finance Apprentice. Since then I have completed level 2 and 3 in AAT, now I am working towards my level 4 AAT qualification. Last year I was nominated for the national AAT award for apprentice of the year, which was a huge accomplishment. In addition to this, igus supported me in my role as an East Midlands Apprentice Ambassador. Within this role I visited different schools to talk about igus and the varied routes you can take as an apprentice. In the future I look forward to becoming a chartered accountant and prospering at igus." - Joe

In addition to this, we support the wider business in their development and encourage furthering their skillset. There are a range of courses team members have carried out or a training for, alongside their day to day job. Some of these qualifications include English language, Master of Business Administration MBA, Accounting and Human Resources.

“I started working at igus after taking a career break with motherhood. I soon moved department as my transferable skill base from Retail Management was recognised, so within a year I was supporting igus with all the recruitment requirements. Over time, this role became more people-orientated and I naturally progressed into running the HR department (i-People). igus supported me and recommended that I go through the official CIPD route. Over a 3-year period I completed levels 3 and 5, which were sponsored through igus. These qualifications have supported my knowledge and confidence within the HR field.” – Leila

Northants Engineering Training Programme

The Northants Engineering Training Partnership (NETP) is a partnership of engineering companies in the Northants region that have linked-up with the University of Northampton and we are lucky enough to be one of those companies. The partnership exists to create a pool of industry ready engineers of the highest calibre http://www.netpengineering.co.uk/

Being part of the NETP was beneficial as it enabled me to start an internship with igus UK and gain deep theoretical knowledge as well as hands-on experience in the automation and robotics industry. After graduating, I successfully gained a position as an Automation Engineer, specifying and supporting numerous clients with their automation requirements. The work environment in igus UK is warm and supportive allowing me to grow and progress as a professional. I would highly recommend aspiring engineers to join the NETP, which will help them stay competitive as well as increase their confidence and experience..” – Angelos

Within the yes initiative, igus supports pupil and student projects with free samples, sponsorships, and consultations. For example, yes sponsors Formula Student Teams in Germany and worldwide with its lightweight and lubrication-free plain bearing technology.
