There are two key parts to our apprenticeship programme. Everyone who joins our scheme commits to a two-year programme. Our apprentices commence the programme in September each year. Sitting alongside the apprenticeship programme, at the end of year two, for those who demonstrate high potential, there will be an opportunity to join our Barratt Apprentice Academy, where the chosen few will spend a further two years honing their skills and preparing to become a Site Manager. 1.
