PepsiCo Coventry has been working with MGTS for over 15 years in a really collaborative partnership. Our candidates return from MGTS to go on to really successful careers within PepsiCo. We have had Junior and Mature apprentices following robust programmes, building fantastic logbooks and knowledge on 4 year tailored courses that perfectly prepare them for engineering technical roles. I would recommend any business looking to switch or start their apprenticeship journey with MGTS.
