This year's programme will give successful candidates the opportunity to gain on-the-job experience, whilst achieving professional qualifications.
The 2020 edition will offer placements at nearly 30 nationwide positions, comprising various level two, three and four apprenticeship roles in areas such as business admin, mobile and static plant, minerals management, electrical and mechanical engineering, plant operations and sales. With the programme now in its fifteenth year, Aggregate Industries has successfully trained more than 300 graduates and apprentices in a number of these roles to date.

James Roberts, Human Resources Director at Aggregate Industries UK, said: "With the continued need to address the ongoing skills gap faced by the sector, a key focus for us is our 2020 Apprentice Programme, which demonstrates our commitment to training and investing in the next generation of talent. Successful applicants will be exposed to a wide range of roles within the business and learn valuable skills.
"In recent years through our Diversity & Inclusion Strategy, we've also worked hard to increase the uptake of the females. To support this, we've introduced a successful female mentorship programme designed to help our female apprentices tackle the unique challenges they may face within the sector. We look forward to welcoming this year's recruits and helping them reach their full potential in the future."
