Congratulations to Europlaz apprentice, Chris McKay, who has passed the Process Technician practical end test as part of his training to become an Injection Moulding Setter. Chris’s training, which has been funded by Europlaz, has consisted of 4 classroom modules delivered by our training provider Sumitomo (SHI) Demag in Daventry over the past 18 months along with ‘on the job’ training and support back in the workplace.

Chris’s Team Leader, Mark Wenlock, has provided mentoring support and training in order to help Chris to achieve an excellent pass mark in his final test. Going forward Chris will go on to complete a training course in Advanced Injection Moulding in approximately 9 months’ time. Well done on all your hard work Chris.
