Nexus open for apprenticeships

Nexus has announced that there are nine apprenticeships up for grabs across the Nexus organisation – and the application process is now up open at www.nexus.org.uk/apprenticeships 

Roles include project management, human resources, data science, bus services, and infrastructure maintenance on the Tyne and Wear Metro, including overhead line and structures.

The closing date for applicants is Sunday 26 February. 

Nexus has a successful track record in recruiting apprentices, with most progressing on to permanent full-time employment or higher-level training after serving their time as trainees.

Head of learning at Nexus, Heather Blevins, said: “We’re looking forward to welcoming a diverse mix of talented people who are keen to start careers in the transport industry in 2023. Apprenticeships are vital for the long-term future of Nexus.

“We are committed to developing early career paths, providing solid succession planning for critical roles. Apprenticeships are an ideal route both for us and the apprentice. They learn bespoke skills and competencies with a good chance of getting a permanent job at the end, and we gain skilled and engaged employees who see real career development. 

“Apprentices get first class training, opening the door to a brilliant career in the railway and public transport industry. It is vital that we invest in training and development to ensure that we continue to deliver the essential services to our customers both now and in the future.”

Nexus apprentices get training on the job with experienced colleagues, at Nexus’ bespoke Learning Centre in South Shields and via external training provider.
