After leaving high school, my parents advised me to enrol onto an engineering course and I completed my level two and three in mechanical engineering. I began to consider apprenticeships and 2 Sisters stood out. After an interview I was offered a place on the electrical engineering apprenticeship programme.
I have completed my NVQ Level 3 Electrical Diploma and have been working in the Engineering department.
It's a three year course. In the first year I attended college five days a week. Year Two - I was on site for four days a week and then going to college one day a week, although this was short-lived due to COVID, which lead to working five days a week on site. Year Three - working four days a week on site and one day at college.

I've been working more closely with the Site Services Manager, this has helped my development significantly. I have had more tasks to deal with and more responsibility such as learning to organise work with contractors and stay on top of daily routines. I'm thrilled about the future potential of 2 Sisters and what the future may hold for me as an electrical engineer.
My advice to anyone trying to kick start their career or find a new job is to keep positive and believe that if you work hard enough, everything will work out.

I chose an apprentice with 2 Sisters because I wanted to know what it's like in a work environment and learn all about mechanical and electrical engineering.
I have been working on tasks that have been given to us in the Electrical and Mechanical workshops and learning how to use different tools and machines. We have also been looking at high level maths work to help us with our career in an electrical workplace.
I am learning all about Electrical and Mechanical Engineering at Carlisle College. We are in college Monday - Friday. Monday, Wednesday and Friday we work on the practical side, Tuesday and Thursday we are in the classroom.
Productive, Hands on, Efficient
Being able to understand how big machines work and how they produce food. Knowing how to use the machines and the tools to fix the machines when they have broken down.

I would like to continue to learn and improve myself, and make a difference at 2 Sisters.
Go for it! It is a very good working environment and you will learn loads which will help you in the future. Everyone working at C&G will help you as much as possible, the company is great.

Cavaghan and Gray Carlisle
6 months
I chose an apprenticeship with Cavaghan and Gray to gain both electrical and mechanical skills in a factory environment.
I am a first year apprentice, my work so far consists of mainly college based activities, including bench fitting, sheet metal and electrical work, as well electrical and mechanical principles.
When I'm at Cavray I shadow the engineers to gain experience with people on production and learning the day-to-day problems that come up. In term time we study at Carlisle College doing practical work on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and we study theory work on Tuesday and Thursday. In half term holidays we return to Cavaghan and Gray to work and shadow the engineers to learn on the job.
Productive, Hands-on, Efficient
I think the best thing is the opportunities we are offered now and in the future.
As an apprentice with little experience it can sometimes be difficult to practically help an engineer.
After my apprenticeship I hope to continue into higher education to further my progression and knowledge.
An apprenticeship is a great option because you can get both electrical and mechanical engineering experience and there are opportunities available for the future.

Diverse, Reliable, Quality
Our colleagues, we spend almost half our day with our colleagues, they become our family.
My shift pattern, I work Monday to Friday, 2pm to 10pm which means I struggle to socialise with people.
I am using my apprenticeship as a learning tool. I have gained a wider knowledge on aspects such as HACCP, TACCP and problem solving. I want to use this knowledge to progress within the business.
Set your goals, put the hard work in and believe in yourself.
