Apprenticeships

University isn’t the only way to enter the workforce. By combining classroom study with on-the-job learning, our Apprentice Scheme provides a genuine alternative to university and a solid foundation for a career in engineering, accounting, or as an electrician.

Typically lasting four years, the scheme offers the training, guidance and support you need to develop valuable skills, earn sought-after qualifications and establish yourself in your chosen career.

As well as training you for a well-paid career, we’ll pay you a competitive salary from day one of your apprenticeship.
