Polymer Processing Apprenticeships

If you want to work in the polymer processing industry, an apprenticeship is a great way to start your career.

Kick-start your career in the Polymer Processing industry

You will gain skills in operating the systems and equipment involved in the production of products used in a wide range of companies – including chemical, primary and secondary pharmaceutical, biotechnology, formulated products and nuclear manufacturing – and learn how to find solutions to problems and identify areas for improvement.

You’ll combine working for an employer with studying towards a set of occupational standards, learning-on-the-job alongside experienced colleagues in the workplace rather than sitting in a classroom all day – and because you’ll be doing a real job you’ll get paid too!
