Opportunities for younger people and promoting social inclusion

Apprenticeships are a great way for the Group to ensure we are training our employees with the specific skills to meet the increasingly diverse needs of our services. We create apprenticeships at various levels, which may be the first job, a career, or development change in your chosen career.

We consider creating apprenticeships when existing employees are promoted to undertake significant role changes or request support for professional qualifications when these meet the criteria of acquiring new skills and developing existing skills. We take our responsibility to develop the skills of young people seriously and our apprenticeship program is always popular.
