Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships form a vital part of the Apollo approach to training.

We employ and train apprentices across every area of our business, from accounting and quantity surveying to carpentry and electrics.

Apollo Group - Apprenticeships

While the Government has recently announced plans for all young people to have the right to an apprenticeship by 2013, we have been leading the way by offering apprenticeships for a number of years now.

For Apollo, employing apprentices is not just about benefitting from the commercial value they bring but also about making a wider impact on the communities in which we work, by training up local individuals and leaving them with greater long-term career prospects.

Our sponsored apprentices work in trades such as carpentry, plumbing and electrics and are encouraged to undertake an NVQ qualification alongside the practical experience they get on site or in the office. In addition, we supplement their training with courses from our own dedicated Learning & Development Centre, which includes the Enrichment Programme that covers IT, interview skills and presentation training. We also ensure all apprentices undertake the CITB test as standard for a holistic approach to their development in the property industry.

While working for us, apprentices are employed as full Apollo staff and therefore receive the same benefits and support as all Apollo employees. For us, we get great pleasure from seeing our apprentices develop skills through business experience that enable them to become a proficient and dedicated professional, who also adds value to the Apollo team.
