Digital Apprentice

A win-win response to the Industry 4.0 revolution

As data integration has risen in priority, so too has the need for a new breed of specialist to manage digital work flow.
The Digital Engineering Apprenticeship program seeks out passionate, technically minded school leavers to partner with top-tier businesses in a 3-year paid-to-learn training model. The first-of-kind apprenticeship has been developed at the direct request of business leaders from across the engineering community to produce the digital specialists they want on their teams. Higher Apprentices meet the digital needs of businesses and gain real-world project experience while earning an industry recognised qualification in a partnership giving rise to a new class of para-professional.

Enter the 'new collar' worker. Enter the Digital Apprentice.

Guided by SAGE Group engineers and technicians, students work with industry-leading technology and gain real-time experience in workplace problem solving for their host partners.

A range of practical assessment tools are used to track learning that can be contextualised to add value to placement workplaces and ensure relevance to apprentice’s future roles.

Course modules create future-readiness for apprentices while also aligning with the demand for enterprise system innovation and Industry 4.0 skills.

Industry Feedback

It's taking the engineering data and making it integrated. It's something that all the big consultants, all the big oil and gas companies, are needing. Data is becoming more and more valuable. And if you can understand how to structure that data, so that it can be used in machine learning, if you can understand and apply new technology as it's available, I think you have huge opportunities.
