The NI Higher Level Apprenticeships programme will see two apprentices join Resonate Testing on a part-time basis, whilst undertaking a professional-level qualification with Southern Regional College.

NI Higher Level Apprenticeships will “garner strong technical and employability skills”.

The programme will allow Resonate Testing to train the apprentices to the level required so they can garner strong technical and employability skills, as well as allowing for increased productivity within the company.

Whilst the apprentices earn as they learn, they will also have improved opportunities for career progression.

They will also benefit from exposure to the technical skills involved in the niche market of testing with a growing and successful company that offers its services to the global market.

Tom Mallon, Managing Director at Resonate Testing spoke about the Higher Level Apprenticeship programme.

“Whilst Resonate Testing has taken on apprentices and interns before, this is our first time to participate in the Higher Level Apprenticeship programme,” he explains.

NI Higher Level Apprenticeships helping to address skills gaps in Northern Ireland businesses.

“The programme allows us to play our part in addressing the skills gap that we, and many other companies throughout Northern Ireland, are currently facing.

“It is hugely important that the younger talent is given the opportunity to establish and perfect their skill set.

“And we feel that it is our responsibility to offer the practical experience required to help create a skilled workforce in the future.

Tom adds, “Sometimes, the practical experience can be the difference between a good and a great engineer!”

NI Higher Level Apprenticeships “a fantastic pathway for those starting their career”.

Michelle Billham from Southern Regional College also spoke about Resonate Testing’s participation in the HLA programme.

“The HLA programme is a fantastic pathway for those starting their career to work and earn a salary whilst studying for a higher-level qualification to degree level,” she says.

“With companies like Resonate Testing participating, apprentices are given the best possible start to their career.

“We’re delighted that Tom and his team are able to participate in the programme this year and look forward to developing the partnership further in the months ahead.”
