Go North East has welcomed four new engineering team members following completion of its apprenticeship.
Run in partnership with Gateshead College, Go North East’s bus and coach mechanical engineering apprenticeship receives over 500 applications each year.
After successfully completing the four-year programme, Ross Dryden, Andrew Wrightson, Richard Whittaker and Jonathon Dodds have now officially joined the ranks as fully-fledged engineering team members across three of the bus operator’s eight depots in the region.
Almost 90% of Go North East’s engineering workforce started their careers as apprentices. The 256-strong team currently has 31 apprentices studying at varying levels of training.
