Great induction, visited different locations of the business. Mentor system in place. Supported with training. On the job is great, clear roles and rotations around the Supply Chain.

Could not ask for more, there are lots of support networks available i.e. academy team, line managers, mentors, HR, previous cohorts of apprentices, university, and more.

up to 1-1 if needed. COVID made this harder, but still had support.

I found majority of learning is through the opportunities Nestle provide. The academic side usually reinforces what has already been learned at the business. We often found we already knew about the qualification topics before the lessons, whereas other apprentices from other companies did not.

Pre COVID lots of academy nights out, function days, conferences and work trips etc. 2 volunteering days per year.

Yes

Came off apprenticeship at a manager level. They offer great benefits, rewarding work, relaxed but motivational culture. There is lots of support for apprentices, and overall a great opportunity to join the leading global food and drink business.

Tips for interview: Research the function you are applying to, as well as the company, think why do you want to work in that particular area? Be yourself, be genuine, but make sure you are passionate and enthusiastic. Think creatively, how can we work differently to improve?
