Taylor & Francis Sales Apprenticeship Programme

Informa is a leading academic publishing, business intelligence, knowledge, and events business, creating unique content and connectivity for customers all over the world.

It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a member of the FTSE 100.

Taylor & Francis is one of the world's largest publishers of high-quality, peer reviewed scholarly journals, books, e-books and reference works.

We empower learners, thinkers and doers with trusted knowledge that advances research and enriches lives. We bring together diverse people, ideas and opinions to validate and publish the experts, theories and truths that matter. And we've been doing this in an unbroken arc since 1798.

Our purpose is to foster human progress through knowledge.

We strongly believe that this requires us to encourage and examine different ideas and voices, so that any work that meets our exacting levels of quality deserves to be included in our publications.

This requires open minds, the opportunity for robust debate, and the courage to defend perspectives that stand up to scrutiny, even if they conflict with our personal beliefs or values.

Because that's the only way to find the best obtainable version of the truth and, ultimately, foster human progress. If you agree, then we'd love to hear from you.

Apprenticeship overview:

On this 18-month Sales Apprenticeship programme, you'll be immersed in Taylor & Francis from day one.

Energetic and rewarding, this Apprenticeship will allow you to make your mark on a global organisation, while building connections with talented people across our business.

From the beginning, you'll have a buddy who will provide useful tips and guidance on your work and career whenever you need it.

You will also be given a full induction on how Taylor & Francis functions as a business, become an integral part of our wider global Apprentice and Trainee community at Taylor & Francis and of course, discover how your role plays a crucial part in driving open research agreements, which we believe is the best way to amplify and communicate research in order to deliver change that improves lives.
