    Dealers get behind Claas apprenticeship scheme

    From England and Wales there are: Amelia Kitchen, Charlie Denny, Luke Newell (Claas Manns); Daniel Simpson, Daniel Thompson, Finnlay Carson, Frazer Hornby, Ruby Cutts (Claas Eastern); Ben Matthews, William Vellacott (Claas Western); Alfie Hay, Andrew Spark, Archie Burkill, Finlay Stobbs, James Walker, Owen Clapham, William Hall (Rickerby); Joshua Bailey (Morris Corfield); Oliver Lowe (Olivers); Joseph Wayte (Riverlea); Sam Whiteman (Alkmonton Tractors). Also joining from Kellys in Ireland are Ciaran Joyce and Emmet McKinley

    Claas has announced that its new in-house apprenticeship scheme, based at the Claas Academy at Saxham, is now fully booked for this autumn.

    The company is the only UK machinery manufacturer to offer and deliver a specific in-house apprenticeship scheme, using new purpose-built facilities.

    Following the inaugural intake of students in February, a further 23 students from dealerships across England, Wales and Ireland have arrived in Saxham for the start of their four-year block-release course.

    A further cohort of students from Scottish dealerships have also been welcomed onto their course, provided and run by the Scottish Rural College (SRUC) Barony, near Dumfries.

    Joining the Claas Apprenticeship course based at SRUC Barony are: Archie Kerr, Callum Adams and Luke McBurnie (Gordons); Ivor Smith (Geddes) and Lewis Bruce (Sellars)

    The apprenticeship scheme was introduced to raise the standard of newly qualified engineers. By doing this, Claas UK states that it can ensure apprentices are fully trained on the latest Claas machinery and have the skills to keep them abreast of technological advances.

    During the apprenticeship, students will study for a Level 3 Apprenticeship Standard in Land-Based Service Engineering, delivered by dedicated Claas trainers alongside specialist product trainers from the main Claas Academy.

    The new premises features specialist fabrication, engine workshops and classrooms, in addition to breakout areas and an on-site restaurant. The three million Euros investment is a worldwide first for the Claas Group and is being used as a blueprint for the instigation of similar programmes within the company’s global operation.
