SMC Corporation (UK) Ltd has once again been recognised for its outstanding commitment to nurturing engineering talent, having achieved the Gold Kitemark ‘Excellent Employer’ status from Next Gen Makers for the third consecutive year.

This prestigious accolade highlights SMC’s dedication to delivering high-quality apprenticeship opportunities and creating a supportive environment for the next generation of engineers.

Operating from its state-of-the-art facility in Milton Keynes, SMC currently supports 10 engineering apprentices and is actively recruiting for two additional positions within its milling team.

A company spokesperson commented, “This award is proof of SMC’s commitment to the ongoing work needed to provide solid foundations for the skilled engineers of the future – who may one day become apprenticeship mentors themselves. Engineers joining us at the start of their working life can be sure they’ll receive first-class mentoring, guidance and instruction to provide a solid foundation for their future.”
