Early careers & apprenticeships
At HSS, we don’t just believe in offering jobs - we believe in making careers. Which is why we offer a choice of brilliant Apprenticeship programmes designed to create the next generation of HSSers.
In fact, right now, at key locations around the country, we’re working with aspiring young Engineers to help them complete a fully funded, 3 year Advanced Engineering Apprenticeship programme. Every day, they’re making the most of on-the-job training and structured residential study sessions, with the big aim of achieving NVQ Levels 2 and 3 Diploma in Plant Maintenance.
But that’s not all. We also have a number of Customer Service based Apprentices taking part in a great 1 year programme that provides on the job training, builds confidence, and helps everyone involved discover and develop their skills and strengths. By letting talent flourish like this, we’ve helped lots of people take the first successful steps in their careers - and some of our most senior colleagues started their careers with HSS at the Apprentice level!
