Training:

They will complete their training through block‑release, attending college in week‑long periods a few times per year rather than attending one or two days each week. During these training weeks, we provide all travel, accommodation and meals to support their learning.

Training Outcome:

They can progress with different courses to become specialists in their field, or they can progress into leadership roles at site or in a support function. Many of our people across the business started as an apprentice.
