Leyland Trucks offers apprenticeship opportunities 14 February 2024

Leyland Trucks is offering technology and a dedicated development programme for 28 new apprentices.

With positions across the business, from engineering and operations to project management and administration roles, alongside qualifications up to degree level, the apprenticeships present opportunities for careers for a range of candidates.

Each apprenticeship will be delivered in partnership with Preston College, Blackpool & The Fylde College, UCLan, Training 2000 or Runshaw College.

Maria Rogers, learning and development manager at Leyland Trucks, said: “The positions available have been strategically chosen. We’re recruiting people into roles that will ultimately drive our growth and ensure continuity of skills as colleagues who have chosen to dedicate their careers to Leyland Trucks hang up their hats and retire. We invest heavily in our apprentices, ensuring our new starters feel excited about their careers, know they are making a difference, and foster ambition for their own growth as well as Leyland Trucks’ – whether that’s in creating a greener planet through electrification or learning to motivate and manage others. We can’t wait to meet the right people and have them embark on a career path that leads to countless possibilities.”

Daniel Hampson, an automotive engineer apprentice at Leyland Trucks, added: “Submitting my application to become an apprentice here is one of the best decisions I’ve made. I would tell anyone considering applying that they should just go for it. Everyone I work with – both at work and at college – is friendly and supportive. I’ve learnt a huge amount, and I’m proud of the things I can do now. I know I make a difference and I’m continually learning as I go. What’s more – instead of racking up student debt, I’m earning. By the time my friends finish university and start looking for jobs, I’ll have real world experience in a global business, no debt, and my qualification too. I cannot recommend it enough.”
