Carrier expands apprenticeship programme
10th February 2025
UK: Carrier is building on the launch of its academy in Bracknell last year, and the appointment of an apprenticeship programme lead, by recruiting at least 17 apprentices this year.
With a 30% increase in its technical apprentice intake for 2024, Carrier now employs more than 50 apprentices across its UK business.
Demonstrating a clear pathway to full-time employment, all of last year’s trainees have now progressed into full-time roles with Carrier.
Underlining its training commitment, Carrier will also be hosting a two-day apprentice event during this week’s National Apprenticeship Week. The event will feature various activities including guest speakers and workshops. Carrier explains that the event is designed to strengthen the sense of community within the organisation while encouraging resilience and promoting fundamental behaviours among apprentices.
“Our academy will continue to provide a practical environment where apprentices and employees alike can hone their skills,” said Andrew Paddock, MD of Carrier Commercial HVAC UKI and Nordics.
“By offering comprehensive training, support, and mentorship, we’re giving our apprentices the knowledge, skills and behaviours they need to become safety-focused and highly competent engineers. In addition, we are supporting them with digital literacy and instilling leadership qualities so they can enjoy long and successful careers with Carrier.”
