This week has been the National Apprenticeship week and TNT Post is delighted to announce that we are providing existing and prospective employees the opportunity to join TNT Post's apprenticeship scheme.

The Level 3 apprenticeship scheme has been designed to develop effective senior managers, this scheme will last two years. The programme focuses on substantial, sustained training in general management, thereby enabling skills transferability across a broad range of industries and organisations, future-proofing the expertise of individuals for the long term.

Apprentices will be based within one of the delivery units and learning is provided through training in TNT Post’s Learning and Development Centre, combined with classroom education in select West London colleges. Classroom education will enable apprentices to gain valuable GCSEs in English and Maths. The programme is designed to be facilitated by other educational establishments as they follow TNT Post’s expansion plans in the UK.

Skills Minister Matthew Hancock said:

“This is excellent news for TNT Post and shows how Apprenticeships are fast becoming an asset for businesses that want to grow and succeed”.

“This week we announced our plans to raise the quality of Apprenticeships and put them in the hands of employers in response to the Doug Richard review. Apprenticeships deliver and these changes will help to ensure that it is the new norm for young people to either go to university or start an Apprenticeship."

Nick Wells, CEO of TNT Post UK, said:

“We are delighted to be able to offer these apprenticeships. TNT Post strives to build strong managers and positive role models to lead future generations of employees”.

“TNT Post prides itself on helping to lower youth unemployment levels. By providing sustainable employment opportunities, the company is taking another step to combat the issue”.

“Through personal and professional development, we want to enhance career opportunities for all our employees, and, for our new apprentices, provide each of them with transferable managerial skills for life.”
