FAQs
Take a look at the answers to some of our frequently asked questions.
What is professional development in engineering?
Professional development in engineering focuses on building and maintaining the technical knowledge and practical skills needed to work effectively in modern manufacturing environments. Through professional development, engineers can stay up to date with evolving technologies, processes and industry standards, while strengthening their ability to apply new approaches in their day-to-day roles.
Who are MTC’s professional development courses designed for?
MTC’s professional development courses are designed for engineers, technical specialists, managers and leadership teams working across advanced manufacturing. They support individuals at all stages of their careers, from early-career engineers looking to broaden their technical expertise to experienced professionals seeking to adopt new technologies or specialise in emerging areas
What is the difference between upskilling training and apprenticeships?
Apprenticeships are structured programmes that combine employment with formal training over a longer period, typically supporting individuals entering the industry or developing foundational skills.
Upskilling training, on the other hand, is designed for those already in the workforce. It provides shorter, targeted learning that helps individuals update their knowledge, build new technical skills, or adapt to changing technologies and business needs without stepping away from their roles.
How can bespoke training help upskill or reskill my workforce?
Bespoke training allows organisations to address specific skills gaps and align learning with their operational priorities. MTC Training works with employers to understand current capabilities, future requirements and technology plans, then develops tailored programmes that support workforce transitions, technology adoption and long-term capability building.
This approach helps ensure training is relevant, practical and directly applicable to the work your teams are doing.
