Eight roles up for grabs at extrusion firm

EUROCELL is searching for eight aspiring extrusion technicians to embark on a new apprenticeship programme at its main manufacturing site in Derbyshire in partnership with West Nottinghamshire College.

The initiative will support the training and development of the next generation of manufacturing and engineering technicians, ensuring Eurocell’s production lines remain at the forefront of emerging extrusion technology while also addressing the sector’s ongoing skills gap.

It comes as almost all manufacturers (98%) agreed in a recent survey that hiring and retaining skilled team members is a key challenge, while Make UK finds that around a third of all vacancies in the industry are hard-to-fill due to a lack of skills, qualifications or experience in the candidate pool.
