National recognition for Sellafield apprenticeship scheme

Sellafield Ltd has once again hit the top 100 Apprenticeship Employers in England.

Companies in this elite bracket are recognised as ‘outstanding apprenticeship employers through commitment to creating new apprenticeships, diversity of their apprentices and the number of apprentices who successfully achieve their apprenticeships.’

We currently have over 600 apprentices in training across 14 different schemes, that includes 10 vocational and 4 degree apprenticeships with 14 different pathways - from Level 2 (GCSE equivalent) to Level 6 (degree level) schemes.

The company has moved from 67th position last year to 59th in 2024.

Michelle Lambon-Wilks, head of education and skills at Sellafield Ltd, said: "Being listed once again highlights our excellent training programme, showcasing our commitment, contribution and the great success that apprenticeships have brought to our company. Apprenticeships are a great way to support people to earn while they learn, retrain, or upskill, and having the right people, in the right roles, at the right time will help us achieve our purpose."

Heather Hughes, an electrical and instrumentation commissioning craft apprentice, said: "My apprenticeship with Sellafield Ltd has allowed me to develop practical and theoretical skills alongside personal development, providing a solid base to allow me to progress to an exciting career."
