Apprenticeships and job creation
We've finalised plans to recruit up to 30 new
apprentices across our depot network, in support
of job creation and utilising our levy. We're piloting
the approach initially at our Liverpool depot around
driver apprenticeships, and then looking to offer the
approach more widely across the UK.
In terms of employee learning and development,
we've created an Apprenticeship Pathway to make
it really easy for our employees to understand the
range of opportunities available to them. As at end
of June 2021, we had 34 employees actively on
apprenticeships and 21 waiting to start.
Learning and development
In addition to external training courses, studying for
qualifications, on-the-job and self-guided learning,
our employees benefit from in-house training and
coaching sessions delivered by our learning and
development team. In 2021/22, our L&D team
delivered a total of 4,052 training hours, broken
