Our Apprenticeships enable you to build project management experience across the HS2 project.

HS2 Apprentices join us in September 2024, where they will have a full Induction into HS2 and meet their apprentice cohort.

Our apprentices attend a learning week every 6 months, which is designed to develop core skills, knowledge and behaviours required on the HS2 Project.

Apprentices are supported by their day-to-day team and the Talent and Development team, where regular team meetings are set up weekly, 1:1's are provided, and every apprentice is assigned a mentor for their durations as well as a team buddy.
