Applications for the National Gird Apprenticeship scheme are now open.
The scheme sits at the heart of the energy system, connecting millions of individuals, households and businesses to the energy they use.
Apprentices will be key to filling roles, which will include connecting low carbon sources of energy to the network; preparing for the wide-spread roll out of electric vehicles and low-carbon heat; and innovating across new technologies needed for an increasingly flexible energy system. This year, National Grid is aiming to increase its 2024 apprenticeship intake by 18%.
Richard Fuller MP said:
Energy sector apprenticeships can enable young people to become part of the generation delivering the UK’s clean energy transition. Through a mix of studying at university and practical training at National Grid’s first-class facilities in Eakring, apprentices can develop life-long skills and kickstart a meaningful career.
I encourage anyone looking for a job that will provide on-going training and development, and contribute to creating a secure, affordable and clean energy future, to explore these schemes.
National Grid is the first apprenticeship provider to be rated ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted on three consecutive inspections.
The deadline for applying to National Grid’s apprenticeship programmes is March 2024.
