Severn Trent Water has announced plans to create hundreds of new job opportunities across the Midlands, as it looks set to take on 130 apprentices in 2023.
In its biggest ever apprentice intake, the company is offering apprenticeship roles right across the region, with roles ranging from level two intermediate (equivalent to GCSE’s) to level six and seven higher apprenticeships (equivalent to a degree).
Jade Pearson, New Talent Lead at Severn Trent said:
“We’re really proud of the continual growth of our apprenticeship programme, creating opportunities for people in our communities to gain the skills and knowledge that will lead them into a meaningful career.
“Our apprentice programme has seen some amazing talent come through our door, it’s wonderful to see our apprentices thrive and go on to have really successful careers here at Severn Trent. They bring fresh ideas, drive innovation and are passionate in helping us to deliver the best service and outcome for our customers and environment. We want to welcome people from right across our region to join us at all levels, skills and walks of life. We recognise the value apprentices bring to our organisation and we’re really excited to welcome our next cohort through the doors.”
