Abstract
In 2014, a UK government report identified a dire need for skilled workers in the nondestructive testing (NDT) industry, and the seeds of a government-funded apprenticeship program to address the skills gap was born. In partnership with the British Institute of Nondestructive Testing (BINDT), an industry-led employer group worked to develop three NDT apprenticeship training programs, incorporating varying levels of industrial qualifications, behaviors, and skill sets, to great success. At the last count, more than 260 apprentices had started their NDT apprenticeship.
