DE&S is celebrating the exciting talent of its workforce as part of National Apprenticeship Week 2021 (February 8-14).
The procurement arm of the MOD currently employs more than 400 apprentices who are learning and developing their skills for a long and successful career within either DE&S or its sister agency, the Submarine Delivery Agency (SDA).
DE&S recruits hundreds of new faces every year from all backgrounds and experiences, and provides tailored training to the individuals on our schemes.
There are currently four apprenticeship schemes open to apply for across functions including Engineering, Finance & Accounting and Project Management. Anyone joining one of the schemes also has an opportunity to join the SDA.
“We’re always looking for talented and enthusiastic people across all backgrounds to start their exciting and fulfilling career with us”
Sue Snowball, Entry Talent & Learning Support Lead, said: “We’re always looking for talented and enthusiastic people across all backgrounds to start their exciting and fulfilling career with us.
“Our opportunities suit individuals who can apply themselves, bring their drive and energy at the start of their career, and are outcome focused. We’re always expanding our range of training and what we offer through our apprenticeship schemes.
“Here in DE&S, we make sure we help you develop your career throughout the organisation and we’re always developing tomorrow’s talent today by providing a great foundation and career progression.”
