GSK UK APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMME
I chose GSK because it’s a large company and you get the opportunity to go into different areas. For the next portion of the apprenticeship, I'll be working with the engineers, which is a role I’ll be aiming for when I graduate.

Apprenticeships and Work Experience Programmes
An apprenticeship is a smart alternative route for students who want to start their career and learn from industry experts from day one. As an apprentice, you’ll benefit from early responsibility enabling you to reach your career goals whilst studying towards academic and industry accredited qualifications. If you are school leaver interested in a career in science, engineering, manufacturing, or business operations in a global company like ours, then one of our apprentice programmes could be perfect.
You'll choose the area of our business to start your apprenticeship in, depending on where your strengths and interests lie. Whichever part of the business you join, you’ll get hands-on experience, and you’ll play a role in helping us to achieve our goals. The apprenticeship programmes take between 2-4 years depending on what you specialise in, with 70% of your time spent learning on the job, 20% of your time studying for a professional qualification at college or through online courses and 10% of your time on GSK training sessions.
