Apprenticeships

We see apprenticeships as a vital part of our approach to recruit, develop and retain talent and provide school leavers and older employees the chance to earn while they learn. In fact, it’s how many of our senior people began their careers.

In 2019 we had 607 apprenticeship programmes that were completed through our business with the help and support of our committed mentors and the use of Mears Learning; a dedicated facility to support the development of our apprentices.

I was an administrator but always wanted to learn a trade. When the opportunity for a plumbing apprenticeship came up I put myself forward. It was the best thing I have ever done. An apprenticeship is a great way to learn new skills and get first-hand experience.
