News: Rotherham apprentice recognised for his skills

By

Rotherham apprentice, Jake Matthewman, has been named as a runner-up at the National Craft Skills Awards presented by Semta, the sector skills council for science, engineering and manufacturing technologies.

The award, sponsored by the Worshipful Company of Tin Plate Workers association, City of London, includes a £100 voucher as reward for his performance.

Jake is undertaking his advanced apprenticeship in mechanical manufacturing and engineering in Sheffield at Sandvik Coromant, the market leader in the manufacture and supply of cemented carbide cutting tools.

He is also completing a Level 3 BTEC Diploma in Manufacturing Engineering from Rotherham College of Arts and Technology (RCAT).

Joe Hargreaves, Jake's training coordinator from the Semta Apprenticeship Service, said: "Jake Matthewman was among the highest level of entrants for this year's craft skills award. He was chosen as runner-up for demonstrating a consistently high performance level and excellent achievements in his practical and academic work.

"For the last 10 years, the Semta Apprenticeship Service has offered apprenticeships for the metals and manufacturing sector with consistently high completion rate. We are always very pleased to see enthusiastic, dedicated talent in the engineering and manufacturing industry and congratulate Jake with his achievements; we look forward to working with new apprentices like Jake in the years to come."

Robert Bloomfield, senior manager HR of Sandvik Coromant, added: "Jake is part of our apprentice training programme in Sheffield and will progress to become a qualified engineer in our R&D facility.

"It is always very encouraging to see our Apprentices recognised for their hard work. We consider ourselves to be very fortunate to have three very capable engineering apprentices as that resource will equip us with valuable skills in the future."
