does anyone know about CAD apprenticeships. i have a degree in fine art but want to progress in this field. help!

Hi JLB joinery

Without wanting to put you off, this is a hard profession to get into at the moment as many people in the engineering industry in this field have been made redundant and are too looking for work.

I know some companies used to offer this sort of thing (pre recession) as an ex colleague worked 3 months for free at the engineering consultancy I used to work for.

The best thing I can suggest is to do the City & Guilds qualifications in your spare time. Doncaster college offer the courses in Level 2 and 3 2D and Level 3 in 3D.

Also previous experience in some form of engineering is required as I search frequently for jobs and this is nearly almost a 'must have'.

Hope this helps!

thanks straylight this post was for my sister i'll forward on your advice im sure she'l be pleased she's finaly got some as careers advice never replied.
