Which will enhance my qualification and have me readily adapted from the working environment. Motorrad Technician, Group 1 Automotive
I really enjoy the programme, university study want the route I wanted to take. The scheme has allowed me to develop academically, but also professionally. Giving me highly valuable work experience and a much larger knowledge base about businesses, and supply chain as a whole. I really enjoy the scheme as I feel we are encouraged to develop as individuals! Supply Chain Business Apprentice, GE Aerospace
I've learnt and developed a lot over my time at BP. Everything from my personable skills to technical skills. There're chances to improve both through day-to-day tasks and specific courses that will help you enhance your skills. BP is very big on teaching and it's a great place to develop as everyone is willing to help and answer any questions you have. T&S School Leaver, bp
I really enjoy the Market Research programme, as I get to have a really good balance of on-the-job work experience, mixed with the educational learning side of my Apprenticeship which will help me work towards my desired qualification. I have had so many amazing opportunities from work experience days at one of the biggest market research companies, to going to my first every conference.
