PIPE WELDER SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMME
What is the Engineering Construction Scholarship Programme?
​
The Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB) are working in partnership with Training providers to offer an excellent opportunity for those aspiring engineers of the future that wish to pursue a career within the Engineering Construction Industry (ECI). Now in its fourth year and with over 360 learners already having either enrolled on, or completed the programme across England, Scotland, and Wales, the ECITB Scholarship will support learners to pursue a full time off the job engineering programme.
​
During their studies learners will acquire Industrial skills and knowledge as well as an Industry recognised qualification and CCNSG Safety passport. The scheme offers employers an excellent opportunity to recruit a young person who has had the requisite industrial training to be either fast-tracked into an apprenticeship or be recruited as a direct site hire for further progression in the workplace. Successful applicants will receive a learner bursary of £60/week subject to attendance during term time.
