Back to School
The Midland Metro Alliance is proud to facilitate apprenticeships which span a diverse range of fields, from quantity surveying to communications, marketing, procurement and business administration. In 2018, the organisation also led an industry group which helped to create the UK’s first apprenticeship in the UK for light rail construction.
In the autumn of 2021, the alliance, which is designing and building a number of Metro extensions on behalf of Transport for West Midlands (TfWM), welcomed ten new apprentices who work across its projects in office and on-site roles.
During National Apprenticeship Week 2022, the Midland Metro Alliance is putting a spotlight on our current and past apprentices.
Two of the MMA’s current apprentice cohort, Finley Brittle and Evans Addae, are working as Assistant Quantity Surveyors on the Wolverhampton City Centre Metro extension whilst studying for a degree-level apprenticeship at Wolverhampton University’s School of Architecture and the Built Environment. In this short video, Evans and Finley return to their previous school, Thomas Telford UTC, to speak with Vice Principal Simon Maxfield and give an update on how their careers are progressing.
