The new apprentice intake will start with us on Monday 12 August @ 8:00 am and we look forward to welcoming them.
For those applicants who have been successful in gaining an apprenticeship, and where we have had confirmation from companies that their recruitment procedures for such applicants are complete, you will have received your start letter and paperwork from us by e-mail (please check junk/spam/other folders) and the hard copy posted out to you. You will also have received an e-mail from us regarding your PPE (safety wear) – please respond to this as required.
Whilst most companies have chosen their apprentices for this year, a couple have still to do so, so keep checking your e-mails and answer calls you get as this could be such companies trying to get in touch with you to set up their own interviews.
