Information for parents/carers

There are so many options for your son or daughter to consider regarding their future and making the best choice at a young age is going to be a tough decision.

What is an apprenticeship?

An apprenticeship is a job with training which allows your son or daughter to earn while they learn, whilst working to government and Ofsted approved standards.

We have lots of different roles on offer, including the opportunity to work on big exciting projects in the engineering team, the chance to work on a treatment plant, cooking up a storm in our state-of-the-art labs, working in our head office or your child could find themselves out on the network fixing leaks.

Our apprentices are supported all the way through their apprenticeship with a dedicated mentor and manager.

We’ve got a great track record of employing our apprentices too. We recently gave all 42 apprentices from our last intake a full time job.
