Another pneumatics course completed at GET 🙌

On the 2.5 day course the delegates learnt about compressed air safety, air preparation, distribution and then spent time building and testing circuits from drawings, then even modifying and creating their own circuits.

Happy Vocational Celebration Day!

Today, we're celebrating the power of vocational education and the opportunities it creates for learners, employers and the engineering industry.

Apprenticeships provide the chance to earn, learn and develop the practical skills needed for a successful career in engineering. Every day, we're proud to support apprentices as they gain the knowledge, confidence and hands-on experience that will shape the future of manufacturing and engineering.

Jordan's journey is a fantastic example of what vocational education can achieve. At the age of 26, Jordan joined GET in 2019 after being out of education for several years. Since then, he has successfully completed his Level 3 Engineering apprenticeship, followed by an HNC and HND, completing in July 2026.

His story is an inspiration, showing that it's never too late to learn new skills, progress your career or take a new direction. Whether you're leaving school or considering a career change, vocational education can open the door to incredible opportunities.

A huge thank you to our apprentices, employer partners and dedicated staff who make vocational education such a success.

Here's to inspiring the next generation of engineers! ⚙️🔩

As another academic year comes to an end, we'd like to share some of the highlights from an incredible year at GET.

From welcoming the next generation of engineering apprentices to celebrating the achievements of those completing their programmes, it's been a year full of growth, success and opportunity.

Some of our highlights include:

🔹 Welcoming hundreds of visitors through our doors at open evenings, recruitment events and school visits.
🔹 Supporting employers across Gloucestershire to recruit and develop skilled engineering talent.
🔹 Celebrating outstanding apprentice achievements, competition success and EPA results.
🔹 Expanding opportunities for higher level engineering training in our Higher Education facility.
🔹 Attending MACH 2026, where our apprentices and staff explored the latest engineering and manufacturing innovations, connected with industry leaders and gained valuable insight into the future of engineering.
🔹 Investing in new industry-standard equipment, including SMC training rigs, Haas CNC machines and Vericut software.
🔹 Hosting employer briefings, careers events and engineering challenges to inspire the next generation.
🔹 Seeing our apprentices represent GET with confidence by leading workshop tours, mentoring school students and supporting outreach events.
🔹 Continuing to achieve outstanding outcomes, with an apprenticeship achievement rate significantly above the national average.

None of this would be possible without the dedication of our apprentices, employers, staff and partners. Thank you for your continued support, commitment and belief in developing the future engineering workforce.

To all of our apprentices moving into the next stage of their journey—whether progressing into the next year, completing your apprenticeship or starting your engineering career—we're incredibly proud of everything you've achieved.

We hope everyone enjoys a well earned summer break, and we look forward to welcoming new and returning apprentices for another exciting year in September.

Here's to another successful year of engineering excellence! ⚙️

On Friday GET held their annual charity football tournament at Tuffley Rovers Social Club. This year was organised by two first year apprentices, Josh and Victoria. From printing t-shirts to making the trophies, they had it all covered!

This year the apprentices chosen charity was SARA, Severn Area Rescue Association. SARA is a multi-disciplinary volunteer rescue organisation, providing specialised emergency services across the Severn, Wye, and Usk. We work in close partnership with the Coastguard, Police, and Fire & Rescue Services to respond to life-threatening situations on land, water, and cliffs. They rely on donations and grants to fund all the incredible work they do for our local community.

Before the event, Josh and Victoria shared with their peers information on SARA and why this charity was chosen. So far they have raised over £500. If you would like to donate to this brilliant charity you can do here – https://www.justgiving.com/page/sarafootballfundraiser?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL&utm_campaign=lc_frp_share_transaction_fundraiser_page_donation_received_-_nth_donation

Well done to all apprentices who played, cheered and helped clear up! 👏

Great afternoon had by all learners and GET team!

Enginuity, in partnership with The Welding Institute, is launching WeldingWeek26 from 6–10 July 2026 to celebrate all things welding!

At GET, we're proud to support the next generation of skilled welders through apprenticeship training, helping learners develop the knowledge, confidence and hands on experience needed for a successful career in engineering.

Welding is a career that combines technical expertise, problem-solving and craftsmanship to create the products and infrastructure we rely on every day.

GET deliver the Level 3 Metal Fabricator Apprenticeship, as well as a range of commercial welding and fabrication short courses to support individuals and employers in developing their skills.

If you'd like to find out more about our training programmes, contact us here or via email [email protected]

Today we welcomed 11 students from Cheltenham Bournside School to GET for an exciting introduction to engineering apprenticeships and life at GET.

The students began the day by learning about the opportunities available through apprenticeships before being taken on a workshop tour, led by our current apprentices, who shared their own experiences and answered questions about their journey.

They then put their teamwork and creativity skills to the test in a LEGO design and build challenge, with entries judged by Derek, Stu and Gerard. There were some fantastic ideas and great final builds!

To round off the visit, the students took part in mock interviews, with our first year apprentices stepping into the interviewer's seat. This was a brilliant opportunity for the students to gain valuable interview experience while allowing our apprentices to develop their own communication and leadership skills.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the day such a success. We hope the visit has inspired the students to consider a future in engineering and apprenticeships!

Today we caught up with Tilly and Victoria, first-year apprentices at Safran Landing Systems, to celebrate Engineering and more importantly, International Women in Engineering Day.

It was inspiring to hear about their experiences so far in what has traditionally been a male-dominated industry that is rapidly becoming more diverse and inclusive.

Swipe through to read about their experiences, insights, and advice for others considering a career in engineering.

🏹 Congratulations to GET-sponsored athlete and apprentice, Emelia Hughes!

We are incredibly proud to support Emelia as she represents Great Britain in archery on the international stage.

Competing at the European Youth Cup in Ruse, Bulgaria, Emelia took part in the Under 21 Women's Recurve category, where she achieved an impressive 14th place qualification out of 52 competitors, ranking as the highest-placed of the three GB women.

As part of the GB women's team alongside Holly and Nicole, they progressed all the way to the Gold Medal Match, defeating teams from Israel, Ukraine and Russia before narrowly missing out to Germany and returning home with a fantastic Silver Medal. 🥈

Emelia also competed in the individual event and mixed team competition with fellow GB archer Sam Ball. The tournament attracted competitors from over 30 countries and took place across a week of elite international competition.

Speaking about the experience, Emelia said:
"I'm really grateful for the support of GET and my sponsors. Attending these events costs a lot of money, and I wouldn't be able to do it without their support."

We are delighted to play a small part in helping talented young people achieve their goals, both in their careers and in sport.

Good luck to Emelia as she prepares for her next international event, the European Youth Championships in Rome at the end of July. We'll be cheering you on every step of the way!
