The Midland Metro Alliance is proud to facilitate apprenticeships which span a diverse range of fields, from quantity surveying to communications, marketing, procurement and business administration. In 2018, the organisation also led an industry group which helped to create the first ever apprenticeship in the UK for light rail construction.
In the autumn of 2021, the alliance added ten apprentices to its workforce who are across all of their projects. Apprenticeships like these help provide young people with hands-on experience whilst they receive a salary and study towards a nationally recognised qualification.
During National Apprenticeship Week 2022, the Midland Metro Alliance is putting a spotlight on our current and past apprentices.
