Northampton College and The University of Northampton are delighted to announce the launch of a new Higher Apprenticeship in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering. Backed by Northamptonshire Enterprise Partnership, the Higher Apprenticeship is designed to address the critical skills gap within the engineering industry.
