We are interested in you as an individual and are committed to coaching, mentoring and developing you into skilled, fully trained employees.  Upon completion of the Apprenticeship Scheme, you will be able to provide the Company with the specialist skills that we need to maintain the success of our operations. So you are very important to us!

What is an Apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship refers to on-the-job training which leads to nationally recognised qualifications.  It is a form of vocational training which enables individuals to earn a wage while at the same time learning the skills necessary to succeed in their chosen career. They are designed by employers for employers and are therefore tailored to meet the needs of the individual business. Apprenticeships combine on and off the job training:
• On the job - you will work on site or in our offices to acquire the necessary practical skills which contribute towards a work based qualification
• Off the job – you will spend time with the learning provider t enable you to acquire the necessary technical skills and theoretical knowledge

Why follow an Apprenticeship?
You will:
• Have  a real job following your chosen career
• Receive a recognised qualification
• Earn while you learn
• Learn specific skills which employers really want
• Receive full support from our training providers and college partners
• Be able to use your existing skills and knowledge
• Make a real and meaningful contribution to the business
• Benefit from our investment in you

You’re existing skills will be hugely valuable since you will:

-       Be involved with solving problems, working at a fast pace and be rewarded for improving how we work.

-       Be disciplined, reliable and driven

-       Have a strong sense of ‘team working’, camaraderie and leadership

-       Possess technical, engineering or man-management skills which will further support your application.

We don’t limit your options and if you’re driven and demonstrate the skills and a passion for the business, we will give you the support and opportunity to grow in terms of remit and responsibility. Learning and development is a priority which means you’ll keep building on your knowledge and developing new skills, throughout your career. Personal development is an effective mix of training courses, on-the-job learning and soon to be launched, online learning.

Applying for roles after leaving the military can require some thought and especially if it’s your first time applying for civilian roles. But you should take confidence from the fact that many people have gone from the military to Eurovia / Ringway and thrived here. There are some simple steps you can take to make sure your application is as strong as possible.

• Research your      options. We recruit across the business and you can find out more about      here. Each of these are quite different from one another and you should    understand which one is right for you.
• Think about      the kind of role you want. In our application form we will ask you to      specify what kind of environment you would like to work in. Would you like      to work outside? Are you happy working shifts, or unusual hours?
• Think      carefully about your cv. There are a lot of helpful guides online. Tell us      about your experience and think about the skills you have versus what is      in the role requirements.
• Make a      decision about your role based on your current skills; you will be able to succeed even more quickly if you apply for a role that complements your      existing skillset.
• Be confident      about your experiences in the military. Your skills are transferable and      will help you no matter which role you join us in.
