I've been heard to note previously that my 'resting' 'surprised' and 'disappointed' faces have, over the years, merged in to one and it's this sort of stuff that's caused that situation.
Government depts, including those who were driving the removal of valued L7 #apprenticeship standards, were a significant part of the huge rush to 'stuff' courses before the funding cutoff deadline.

Are there any local companies providing apprenticeship schemes in their tech teams around the Midlands?
I’m researching options for young people in the area as some friends’ kids with loads of potential are looking for jobs.

미국 정부가 AI·반도체·핵에너지 분야 근로자 교육을 위해 1억4500만 달러를 투입한다고 발표했습니다. 대학 학위가 아닌 '견습(apprenticeship)' 형태로 진행되어 '배우며 벌기(learn while you earn)' 방식으로 인력을 양성하겠다는 점을 강조합니다. 발표는 AI를 숙련 기술(skilled trade)로 분류해 선박건조·보건 등과 같은 직군에 포함시키는 정책적 변화를 시사합니다.
The US government just dropped $145M to train workers in AI, semiconductors, and nuclear energy... as apprenticeships. Not college degrees. Apprenticeships. Learn while you earn. AI is officially a skilled trade now. Same category as shipbuilding and healthcare. The goal: 1
@railpage I'm excited to see some #apprenticeship content on here that's not me!
I followed the links through from the article though and can't see any apprenticeship vacancies (with Lumo, or at all on the First Careers site), are they still to come?
‘I had no idea what I was doing at 18 – now I’m running teams at Amazon’: Swansea apprentice shares her journey
Sara Evans, who works as an Area Manager at Amazon’s Swansea fulfilment centre, is sharing her experience during National Apprenticeship Week 2026. Amazon says it hopes stories like hers will encourage more people to consider apprenticeships.
Sara joined the company in 2014, straight out of school. “I literally had no idea about anything back then,” she said. “I’d ordered loads from Amazon, but I didn’t know how it worked behind the scenes. As soon as I started, I thought, ‘this is pretty cool’.”
According to Amazon, Sara began as a stower before her team leader spotted her potential and put her forward for extra training. She went on to become first‑aid trained, fire‑marshal trained and an instructor, before moving into team leadership.

When Amazon offered a higher‑level apprenticeship through the University of Exeter Business School, she applied immediately.
“The self‑awareness I’ve gained has been huge,” she said. “As a manager, earning people’s trust is everything. The apprenticeship goes really in‑depth on that.”
Sara said the best part of the job is the people she works with. “You’ve got to be honest and open with the team, and then it all works. Everyone wants to work for you and you work as one big unit.”
She added that she had always wanted to go to university but couldn’t afford to reduce her hours. “I can do this while I’m working. Why wouldn’t you do it? There are no negatives.”
Sara is due to complete her Operations Management Higher Apprenticeship in March 2026. She said she’s keeping her options open for the future, adding that Amazon offers “so many different fields” she could move into.
Her advice to anyone considering an apprenticeship is simple: “Just do it. It’s a no‑brainer.”
Amazon says its apprenticeship programme is ranked among the UK’s top three by the Department for Education. The company also says pay starts from £13.95 to £14.96 an hour depending on location, with benefits worth more than £700 a year.
Applications for 2026 are now open at amazonapprenticeships.co.uk.
