Traditionally, the apprenticeship model in Manufacturing Engineering is characterised by hands-on training in skills such as conventional milling, turning, and fitting. This has been a long-time cornerstone of the global workforce development in industry. However, technological advancements continue to reshape the manufacturing engineering landscape, creating a growing gap emerging between apprentices’ training they receive in the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) or training centres and the advanced manufacturing methods they encounter when returning to their working environment. This has the potential to hinder the productivity and the adaptability of the next generation of the skilled engineering workforce, making this issue important for addressing. This chapter will present a comprehensive framework that is intended to bridge the knowledge gap of current apprentices trained in a traditional way. While also equipping them with the necessary skills and knowledge required to be able to adapt quickly in the rapidly evolving manufacturing engineering industry. Thus, creating a seamless transition as apprentices move from training to work, not only benefiting individuals but also providing companies with a better skilled and adaptable workforce.
