Energy is integral to the way the world works. It powers our businesses, our homes and critical infrastructure and services – like hospitals, schools and transport links.
Developing and maintaining the way energy travels and is safely used can be at the heart of your career in an important and ever-developing industry.
One of the best ways to kickstart your career is through an apprenticeship.
Our apprenticeship training will equip you with the skills, knowledge and experience required to become fully qualified electrician or domestic plumber and heating technician.
Working together with your employer, we’ll guide you through the learning process, supporting your development needs and giving you the start you need to qualify for a successful and sustainable career.
