Hanson’s talent and development manager, Karen Wright said: “Our LEAD apprentice programme is a great way of fast-tracking a career in the construction sector without accumulating the debt associated with traditional university courses. Many of our apprentices are now in supervisory and management roles across our business.”
Emily Burridge, who was part of the 2016 LEAD intake, will soon be taking up a new role as concrete technical supervisor for Hanson. Reflecting on her career to date she said: “After A levels you have a lot of options. For me, the LEAD programme offered a way of learning which combined a decent salary with a company actively supporting you through your degree and onto a management role.”
The closing date for 2018 applications is March 13.
