Life as an apprentice

At The One Point, we are incredibly proud of our apprentices' achievements and believe in rewarding their hard work and determination to succeed.

An apprenticeship at The One Point is a chance to gain experience and build confidence working as part of an enthusiastic, motivated and energetic team.

You will gain knowledge across a wide range of business admin projects, help us support real customers and use industry-standard tools and processes to carry out your work.

We also recognise the support we need to give our apprentices to learn. There is time away from their regular duties and always someone to ask for advice on assignments. This guidance has led to some pretty impressive Distinction grades when our past apprentices have completed.

This all adds up to some bright prospects for our successful apprentices once they have finished their training.

Life after your apprenticeship is over:

As a fast-growing company with a track record of promotions from within, we expect to develop our apprentices in permanent roles after completion. If you can show up with a great attitude, the sky is the limit once you join our team.
