Apprenticeships that matter
Build the Future with the energy and utilities sector
This National Apprenticeship Week [7-13 February 2022] is about building the future, and with the national pledge to cut carbon emissions to net zero by 2050, there’s never been a better time to consider an apprenticeship in the energy and utilities sector.
It has been estimated that to achieve net zero, the sector needs 277,000 new recruits to join by 2029. This is not only to strengthen an ageing workforce, but also to fill a wide range of new roles to develop a low carbon economy.
“An apprenticeship in the energy and utilities sector is an opportunity to train for a new role in a fast-developing set of industries at the forefront of the fight against climate change.

It is a genuine job, with training, meaning you can earn while you learn and gain a nationally recognised qualification.
Average salaries while in training for most energy and utilities-related apprenticeships are higher than the average salaries for apprentices across all other sectors in the UK.
“95% of those who completed apprenticeships in the electricity industry are still with their employers five years after training, compared to 88% for all private sector apprentices.
Despite the ongoing pandemic, the energy and utilities sector is rising to meet the net zero challenge, apprenticeship vacancies for green skills rose by 68% in 2021 compared to the previous year.
There is a range of apprenticeships in many different companies across the sector. So if you’re looking to kick start a career with purpose that will help the country tackle climate change, join a sector that society can’t function without. Apply now.
