Apprenticeship Week is a great reminder to all industries about the need to engage with young people, offer opportunities tailored to them and help shed light on careers, sectors and roles they may otherwise not be aware of. We think it’s about opening doors and being proud of the work you do, getting people excited about their futures. We certainly believe the foodservice and agriculture industries are rich with roles that can lead to engaging, exciting and long careers!
You’re invited to read on and find out more about how we work with apprentices and young people seeking our careers with us.

What other opportunities do we offer?
Because learning never really stops and because there are always many routes to a career, we also support graduates through our Future Leaders Programme. This provides graduates with the chance to work in three different food division businesses over a two-year scheme. Our Future Leaders will work with operations, technical, supply chain and commercial teams. Supported by a personal mentor, with development days focused on key skills, this is a really exciting opportunity to get a feel for our business and the industry as a whole. We’ll be sharing more about this programme and some insights from our Future Leaders themselves in the coming weeks!
