Career and Apprenticeship Opportunities

Parents and carers play a vital role in shaping young people’s career decisions.

Join us at Thames Water for an interactive early careers session to:

• Learn about our early careers pathways, including apprenticeships, graduate, industrial placements, and more.
• Hear directly from our early careers team.
• Ask questions and learn how to support your young person as they start their career.

Join our webinar with the British Army to learn about the 40+ different apprenticeship opportunities available, from engineering to healthcare, and hear directly from apprentices about their training, experiences and what Army life is really like. Perfect for young people and those supporting them.

In this webinar designed for school students (and those supporting them), you'll get an inside look into KPMG. Led by KPMG's current and former apprentices, you'll learn all about their journeys. This is your chance to hear the real stories, from day-one top tips to project work from the outset.

You'll also see what potential career paths are available after the apprenticeship, understand the network of support available, and discover what unique skills you'll gain with KPMG. Plus, there will be a Q&A at the end, so bring your burning questions. 

We want to show you how a KPMG apprenticeship can set you up for success - giving you the confidence in your choice after school. 

If you're naturally curious about why people behave the way they do or want to understand the "how" and "why" behind social issues, you could be perfect for a career in social research.

Our degree apprenticeship programme offers a fee-free Applied Social Research degree from the University of Kent alongside working in a government department. This scheme allows you to earn whilst you learn. No research experience is necessary, just a desire to learn!  

Picture yourself designing surveys that capture what entire populations think, running focus groups that dive deep into people's experiences, or analysing data that reveals otherwise hidden patterns in how society functions. You might be evaluating whether a new policy is helping people find jobs, researching what makes communities feel safer, or investigating why some educational programmes succeed whilst others don't.  

Social research helps government make better policy and deliver better services, using data and research to guide government decisions and delivery. 

Are you looking to take off in your career? Join Jet2.com as an Apprentice Logistics Coordinator and be part of our high-performing team at Leeds Bradford Airport.

You’ll support our Stores team by helping to manage aircraft parts and goods movement, maintain customs and invoice records, and keep things running smoothly behind the scenes for our aircraft operations.
