Apprenticeship Program

Be part of a global leader 

ANCA is proud of its world class apprenticeship program which has been successfully training highly skilled technicians since 2011. Set up by co-founder Pat McCluskey, the program has been designed to offer participants a range of technical training paths at its global headquarters in Bayswater, Melbourne.

My experience with the program has been broad and in depth, it has presented many challenging opportunities and has allowed me to upskill in number of areas I didn’t think I would get the chance to experience. All in all, our apprenticeship program is exciting and allows for a career promoting growth and learning in which we thrive upon.

Apprenticeship Program

“ANCA is renowned for designing and manufacturing high-end CNC grinding machines, which we export around the world - competing and winning against international competitors. I have first-hand experience of our highly skilled technical processes – having built spindles to complete machines as well as 30 plus years’ experience as a Tool & Jig maker and Fitter & Turner.”

“Passing on my knowledge and teaching the next generation of talent is incredibly satisfying. It is rewarding watching our apprentices grow throughout their four-year program and to go on to successful careers. ANCA embraces diversity and is full of opportunities for those who work towards them.”
