Michelin – training apprentices for local companies

Michelin’s training centre in Dundee has trained more than 300 of its own apprentices since being established in the early 1970s. Following the collapse of local training providers in the mid-1990s and a shift in emphasis by local colleges away from practical engineering training, Michelin stepped in and offered training for apprentices from other companies, notably SMEs. To date Michelin has worked with more than 45 companies and trained more than 175 such apprentices.
