Testimonials
You get so much out of an apprenticeship.
You get so much out of an apprenticeship. There are so many skills I’ve learnt, from electrical wiring, time management and on-site experience to learning to switch the equipment on and off safely and how to be in charge of jobs.
I wanted to join to make a difference.
I came for an interview and had a site visit and it was just amazing, everything I saw looked so interesting. I saw other girls and women doing the job which was really promising. Everyone was so encouraging of each other, it’s all equal. I wanted to join to make a difference.
I would highly recommend an engineering apprenticeship
Whilst I didn’t have an engineering background, National Grid looked at other qualities I bring to the role. I learn on the job, theory-based learning and practical training and there are countless opportunities available. I would highly recommend an engineering apprenticeship.
“I was ‘thrown into the deep end’, but in the best way possible. The experience I gained was invaluable, and I’m grateful to the team for entrusting me with key responsibilities.”
