The local authority is one of the region’s largest employers with over 10,000 employees, many of whom started their careers as apprentices. Applications for these new roles open on Friday, May 3, with an employment start-date of September 2024.

Apprenticeships are open to everyone aged 16 and over not in full-time education. They are available in Level 2 all the way up to Level 7 Degree Apprenticeships and can take between one to six years to complete, depending on the level chosen and whether candidates have any prior experience, all whilst earning a wage.
