Why not accelerate your career with a Business & Technology apprenticeship at Unilever? Working in a diverse, global business, you’ll gain invaluable work experience supporting world-class brands in areas such as Customer Development, Finance, Marketing and Supply Chain.  

Working under the guidance of a dedicated line manager, you will gain the technical knowledge and skills you need to succeed through a combination of real, practical experience and formal training. You can expect on-the-job training, formal development opportunities and dedicated mentoring.  

What will I be doing?

Over the 3 years you’ll complete 3 placements, focusing on Business Engagement in year 1, Governance & Risk or Training and Awareness in Year 2, and finishing in Architecture (ensuring the tools we use are fit for purpose and effective) for your final year.
