School leaver opportunities

Join one of our apprenticeship programmes and you can develop the future skills our sector and society need. All while earning a salary and studying for professional qualifications, debt-free.

For those with GCSEs (or equivalent qualifications):


Advanced or Modern Apprenticeships can help you build specialist skills in a range of technician roles. You spend your first year developing a strong foundation in the practical skills you need, then three years building your knowledge within a range of teams. All while working towards your Apprenticeship Standard and gaining relevant engineering qualifications. If you join as a Non-Destructive Testing Engineering Technician apprentice in Submarines, however, you’ll learn on-the-job from day one, with some off-site training across your programme.

If you have A levels (or equivalent qualifications): 

Higher Apprenticeships are a great introduction to specialist technician roles, which can lead to careers in manufacturing engineering and nuclear engineering.

Degree Apprenticeships give you the chance to develop advanced engineering, manufacturing, scientific, digital, or business skills while studying for a debt-free honours degree or other qualifications.
