Opportunity knocks as power giant SSE opens its apprentice programme
A SCOTTISH energy giant has opened its apprentice programme for this year and is looking for candidates from all over Britain.
Around 100 roles are available nationwide in SSE’s Engineer Craft Apprenticeship and the Trainee Engineers programme while the IT Degree Apprenticeship will welcome 10 budding apprenticeships at SSE’s offices in Hampshire.
John Stewart, director of HR at SSE, said: “Apprenticeship programmes are not just key to a company’s success, but key to the future success of our industry.
“By allowing people of all ages and skill levels the opportunity to develop, earn a fair wage and gain work experience apprenticeships are able to equip them with the right tools to enter the workplace and continue to grow from strength to strength.”
Emily Huntley, IT Apprentice, joined the programme last year.
“Apprenticeships are there to help train a new generation in a skilled trade, and, as the world becomes more digital and reliant on IT systems, it’s fantastic to be able to gain a recognised qualification in such a relevant subject whilst making money and working at a company like SSE,” she said.
Applications close on 19 March. Visit sse.com/careers for more information and to apply.
