What will the apprentice be doing?

Our Business Administration Apprenticeship Programme caters for those who are interested in office-based role within the Yeovil Helicopters organisation, aiming to give the apprentice an exposure and understanding of the different business functions and their interactions. The ultimate aim of the scheme is to move you into a final placement area based on business requirements and the skills displayed during the apprenticeship.

The apprenticeship will start with an Induction into Leonardo, followed by a team building week (including overnight accommodation) at an offsite location incorporating all trainee starts. There will also be a Yeovil College Induction to ensure that apprenticeship requirements and expectations are fully established.
