Graduate Programme - our commitment to developing young engineers Graduate Recruitment needs for 2004
Due to the success of our Summer Vacation Scheme we will no longer be recruiting for our 2004 UK Graduate Scheme. We are in the process of implementing an International Graduate Programme for Angel Trains. We aim to commence graduate recruitment in 2005. Angel Trains is committed to receiving and developing the best team within the rail industry. At Angel Trains our Training & Development policy is to support the development of all our employees. Our accredited Graduate Programme is designed to provide Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Graduates with a diverse learning experience, leading to a final role within our Engineering Team and to Chartered status. Our 4-year programme has been developed with guidance from the I Mech E, to take advantage of the Passport Scheme. This scheme is an industry wide collaboration to facilitate the development of Graduate Engineers. The 4-year programme is structured into 2 key stages. Phase 1 - Training
This initial phase offers the engineer a rich and diverse learning experience. This 2-year period consists of a number of internal and external placements allowing the trainee to build up an extensive knowledge of both ‘hands on’ engineering and commercial awareness. Our Commitment - To provide a platform for the graduate to gain an in depth understanding of our
- Business and the wider rail industry.
- To prepare the graduate for a final role within Engineering Department.
- To provide a route to Chartered Status.
Phase 2 - Responsible experience/Final Role
The latter stage provides a platform for continuous professional & personal development. The engineer will be placed into a final role within Angel Trains and will be measured against the I Mech E MPDS Responsible Experience Competency Statements, the successful completion of this 2-year period will lead directly to chartered status. Our commitment - To provide a smooth transition into a final role (typically Fleet Engineer or Contract Management).
