EPS apprentices and staff spent an hour patiently waiting for the cloud cover to reveal glimpses of a solar eclipse. This event is when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth hiding the sun from view and blocking the sunlight that usually reaches us. The sun appeared to go partly dark for about two hours as the moon passed in front of it.
Fot those that missed it. The next one is in 2026.

The mechanical workshop contained within the Schuster building is undergoing major refurbishment work. In a couple of months we will celebrate its re-opening with workshop technicians and apprentices.
EPS Technical Apprentices will soon begin a new challenge, working together as a team to design, develop and manufacture a unique electro-mechanical instrument.
Maybe it will look something like this:

Apprenticeship management team members are keen to promote sustainability across the University campus in all areas of our work.
We are in constant contact with our partners at Trafford College. We regularly need to meet in small groups to help organise and influence the direction of our apprenticeship programme.
This week we have been investigating future possible pathways and collaboration with other organisations. This information will help guide and inform decisions we will all be making with apprentices as they approach navigation points in their careers.
The gathering was held at Trafford college and the chosen means of transport was the University electric vehicle.
We hope to be able to utilise this vehicle more regularly for future (short distance) travel.
