Thank you - this is great to hear and I will pass this on to the students. Many high achiever students are interested in apprenticeship opportunities at companies like Roll-Royce but parents have concerns about them moving great distances away from home with no support or guidance outside of the work place.

Good afternoon,

Here at Volkswagen Group, we offer a number of apprenticeship specialisms that engineering students can use their newly gained skills in.
- Service Technician
- Parts Advisor
- Mechanical, Electrical & Trim Technician

We recruit based on what vacancies we receive, which can happen during anytime during the year, all depending on the needs of the dealership or centre, and our search for candidates is based on a radius around the dealership to offer the best available apprentices for their position.

Our programme offers an apprenticeship & a career at the dealership near to their current residence, where they have a full time job and are on block release training in Milton Keynes (National Learning Centre and Apprentice-only hotel with fantastic facilities. Food, travel & accommodation to and from all locations are all paid for and arranged between the programme and the dealership in question). So a safe & fun environment of learning is provided when away on training with the Volkswagen Group.
They are also provided with two mentors - the first being their mentor at the dealership who is often a Master Technician or of a higher role, as well as a Vocational Learning Advisor for the area & specialism who visits the apprentices once every 12 weeks as a minimum to provide that extra training, support & mentoring.

All we ask of our candidates is a C-grade in English, Maths & Science (or equivalent science-based subject) at GCSE (or equivalent qualification) to be considered for a role.

I hope this helps to answer some questions you have.
