MES apprentice Review

Site visits in company van, online/virtual meetings and admin for change requests, university learning and assignments

Absolutely, I went from almost zero knowledge on Network engineering to feeling comfortable in my day to day tasks. My skills will only continue to develop

I love my programme. There is help and support whenever I need it. My colleagues, mentors and manger are all amazing and all want the best for me. No complaints at all!

There is quite a lot of freedom in this programme. The opportunities for development are all available to you, you just have to take them. If you are proactive then the structure works great.

There are so many levels of support available. I have never felt unsupported in any aspect

Yes

Vodafone has been an amazing experience and opportunity for myself and many colleagues. The support, the freedom, the responsibility and the benefits make Vodafone the perfect introduction to corporate life. I can't recommend it enough
