Last year, Leyland Trucks won Apprentice Team of the Year due to their impact on the business and their dedication to personal development.

Daniel Hampson, 19, an automotive engineer apprentice said: “Submitting my application to become an apprentice here is one of the best decisions I’ve made. 

“I would tell anyone considering applying that they should just go for it.

“What’s more, instead of racking up student debt, I’m earning. 

“By the time my friends finish university and start looking for jobs, I’ll have real-world experience in a global business, no debt, and my qualification too. I cannot recommend it enough.”

Maria Rogers, learning and development manager said: “We invest heavily in our apprentices, ensuring our new starters feel excited about their careers, know they are making a difference, and foster ambition for their own growth as well as Leyland Trucks’ whether that’s in creating a greener planet through electrification or learning to motivate and manage others. 

“We can’t wait to meet the right people and have them embark on a career path that leads to countless possibilities.”

Applications close on 1 March, with new apprentices starting their roles on 2 September 2024.
