Tucked away in the heart of Waverley, the University of Sheffield AMRC Training Centre is helping shape the future of engineering – right on your doorstep.

Offering prestigious Russell Group-accredited apprenticeships, the centre supports learners across advanced, higher, and degree-level programmes — including Levels 3, 4, and 6.With two intakes each year and strong links to hundreds of local and national employers, the AMRC Training Centre is a springboard for anyone interested in building a career in design, manufacturing, or maintenance engineering.

Rebecca Blackburn, Head of business development, engagement and contracts, explains: “Engineering is a national priority, and hobbies and hands-on interests often play a vital role in shaping exciting, long-term careers in the field. We’re passionate about supporting local students and want to connect with more schools, families, and businesses across the Waverley community.”

With four open events every year, the AMRC is always looking for enthusiastic new apprentices, and they’re keen to hear from local schools who want to explore the pathways available.

But their impact isn’t just within industry. The team regularly supports community-led initiatives, from hosting family-friendly STEM days to partnering with charities like Sheffield  Children’s Hospital, where apprentices recently helped redesign its iconic snowflake decorations.

As Rebecca adds, “We’re proud to be based in Waverley and want to work closely with residents and local organisations to inspire the next generation of engineers. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, student, or business owner, there are so many ways to get involved.”
