This Apprenticeship is for anyone interested in
working in a laboratory setting. Laboratory technicians support scientists and
help carry out tests, research and investigations. They work across many
industries and can be involved in activities ranging from developing new
products and diagnosing diseases to measuring pollution levels.
As an apprentice, you’ll train as a junior
laboratory technician and learn practical scientific skills. The nature of your
work will depend on your employer, but whether you work for a pharmaceutical
company or a university, you’ll probably be part of a team of other scientists
and technicians. You might help collect and analyse samples; prepare cultures
or specimens; set up experiments; and record and present data. You might also
be responsible for ordering and controlling laboratory stock and supplies, and
making sure laboratory equipment is clean and in good working order.
During your Apprenticeship you’ll learn about
the fundamentals of science, pick up practical skills and take a qualification
in applied science.
Completion of the Advanced Level Apprenticeship
could lead to further qualifications or Higher Education. Once qualified, you
might find yourself working in a research laboratory, hospital laboratory,
environmental science laboratory, or laboratory within an educational
establishment.
