Welsh Government opens the door to new Careers with 35
Apprenticeship Opportunities
Welsh Government is offering a range of apprenticeship
opportunities to help people build skills whilst delivering for
the people of Wales.
The apprenticeships span the whole of Wales and opportunities and
will offer experience across government ranging from Transport
and Tourism to Energy and Education.
The Welsh Government has successfully delivered its
apprenticeship scheme for a number of years, providing valuable
development opportunities across the organisation. In the most
recent recruitment campaign, around 70 individuals were appointed
through the scheme.
The new apprenticeship roles can be applied for from today
[17th August] and the vacancies will remain open
throughout September.
Sam Faulkner, former apprentice and current Apprenticeships &
Early Talent Manager at Welsh Government said:
An apprenticeship opened the door for me. Now I get to hold it
open for others. I started my career as an apprentice, looking
for an opportunity what I found was confidence and the chance to
make a difference.
Someone believed in my potential, and now I have the privilege of
doing the same for others. From apprentice to Apprenticeships
Manager. Proof that one opportunity can change everything.
Tia Mais, a previous apprentice and current User Researcher at
Welsh Government said:
When I left school, I had no idea what my future would hold or
what career path I wanted to take. Choosing a DDaT apprenticeship
with the Welsh Government was one of the best decisions I have
ever made. Of course, I was nervous, I had never worked before,
let alone worked in digital. But that's what's amazing about an
apprenticeship. It gives you the opportunity to start your
career, start new goals and learn as you go. I've not only found
a career that I love, but I've also discovered my potential by
stepping outside my comfort zone and met incredible people along
the way.
The Deputy Minister for Skills and Tertiary Education, said:
Welsh Government is a national employer, and I am proud we can
demonstrate our commitment to apprenticeships by offering these
opportunities across Wales.
Investing in apprenticeships is a central part ofWales'future
skills system and I know how valuable these opportunities can be.
These apprenticeship vacancies are us putting our money where our
mouth is and providing opportunities for people to gain
high-quality skills and experience.
Whether you have just got your exam results, leaving school or
university or looking to change careers there will be an
opportunity for you. I encourage anyone looking to develop new
skills to apply and help us to deliver public services and
supporting communities across Wales.
A Welsh Government apprenticeship roadshow, where anyone
interested can register to attend sessions at local offices, meet
current apprentices and find out more about the opportunities
available, will be held throughout September. Including;
