This scheme is aimed at 16 - 19 year olds, who would like to start their career within our Urban business, learning how to competently install and maintain our traffic signaling equipment, whilst at the same time studying for an NVQ. The successful apprentices will be given a structured 4 year training programme, and will be closely monitored by both the local Management team and a mentor from their regional office, to ensure that they get the most out of what they learn both at college and 'on the job'.
