These days, there’s no guarantee of a job never mind a job for life. At TDK-Lambda UK, we are firm believers in the value of apprenticeships and training, providing opportunities to employees who might otherwise miss out on career progression. <\/p>\n

More young people need to know about the potential of vocational routes like Apprenticeships; to illustrate how, please read Daniel Lawson\u2019s story:-<\/p>\n

Daniel joined TDK-Lambda ten years ago as an Assembly Operator and, after his first year, was offered a City & Guilds Apprenticeship through our training partner Group Training and Development (GTD). He completed his Advanced Apprenticeship in Engineering with TDK-Lambda UK in 2007 and since then has received several promotions and gained a degree. He is now a Design Engineer at TDK-Lambda.<\/p>\n

The Apprenticeship and National Training Awards 2012 South West Region : Taunton Sept 27 2012 : Apprenticeship Champion of the Year : Winner Daniel Lawson : L-R Dr John Chudley (NAS) & Daniel Lawson.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cI have really enjoyed studying over the years,\u201d says Daniel, \u201cbut there is no doubt that it has been challenging, especially finding the time to work full-time and study.\u201d <\/p>\n

Daniel is a terrific example of just how far up the ladder a person, with drive and determination, can climb. Recently he won the South West region City & Guilds Apprentice Champion of the Year category in the 2012 National Apprenticeship Awards.<\/p>\n

Daniel now proceeds through to the National judging stage and needs your vote – it\u2019s easy to do, just visit: www.apprenticeships.org.uk<\/a>. The initial public vote runs until 9.00 am on 29th October. <\/p>\n

The national award winner will be revealed during the opening ceremony of the UK\u2019s largest national skills and careers event, WorldSkills UK – The Skills Show<\/a>, at the NEC in Birmingham on 14 November. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
