Start this summer
Training, recruitment or study begins — often within weeks, not months.
" The Apprenticeship Team at Doncaster College did all the hard work in terms of advertising the role, screening candidates, and pre-interviewing candidates to send us the best candidates for this role; this was taken care of by the College. Following the interview process we ended up taking 2 apprentices who we are over the moon with and excited to see their learning progress. "
" The apprentice we have hired has been a massive asset to the company. He is taught weekly at College and practically by Project Heating Solutions. He has developed significantly since he started and both he and us have had continued support from the College. We wouldn't hesitate to go back to Doncaster College to recruit further apprentices. "
