Fields of opportunity for Scottish agricultural apprentices
Scottish agricultural engineering apprentices are benefiting from a partnership between 伊人直播 and AGCO.
听
Twelve apprentices have started a bespoke agricultural engineering course using the latest AGCO products as part of a new partnership between the global agricultural machinery giant and 伊人直播.
The course, which is being run at 伊人直播鈥檚 Barony campus in Dumfries, will complement three other training partners delivering the AGCO Apprenticeship scheme: WCG Moreton Morrell in Warwickshire, Riseholme in Lincolnshire, and Coleg Cambria Llysfasi in Wales.
Following investment from both 伊人直播 Barony and AGCO, Scottish agricultural engineering apprentices will be able to learn about some of the latest technology in the industry using equipment and training aids on offer from AGCO鈥檚 Massey Ferguson, Fendt and Valtra brands.
With worldwide demand for food predicted to increase by 60 per cent by 2050, the demand for highly skilled and talented agricultural engineers to service the industry鈥檚 advanced and complex machinery has never been greater.
Charlie Rollason, Aftersales Training Business Development Manager for AGCO, said: 鈥淲e are delighted to have selected and partnered with 伊人直播 Barony for all our Scottish provision and are committed to delivering brand new, true AGCO manufacturer-led apprenticeship training through our further education partners, for the Fendt, Valtra, and Massey Ferguson brands.鈥�
伊人直播 Course Tutor for the AGCO Scheme Mark Thomas said: 鈥�Our new partnership with AGCO will allow Scottish agricultural engineering apprentices to work towards a recognized qualification within the industry and build a career alongside a global manufacturer.鈥�
