E.ON invites applications for its next intake of degree apprentices, offering on-the-job learning while undertaking a fully funded degree

E.ON has opened applications for its degree apprenticeship programmes and is encouraging those who want to help create a sustainable future to apply.

E.ON’s degree apprenticeship programmes offer successful applicants the opportunity to work full-time, study for a fully funded degree and earn a competitive salary. During the four- or five-year programme, apprentices will work on several placements across the business, aligned to their academic work at university.

E.ON is offering seven different degree apprenticeship schemes, covering a range of skills and interests and aimed at developing the workforce of the future with skills that can be embedded into the workforce today. All roles will be based in Nottingham.

E.ON recently conducted research which found over half (52%) of people want to work for an organisation that is working towards a more sustainable future and 49% want to develop the skills needed to thrive in a greener future¹. E.ON’s degree apprenticeship programmes are perfectly placed to respond to this growing demand for green skills and sustainability, providing apprentices with practical and relevant work experience focused on the future skills E.ON needs to continue leading the energy transition.

Sarah Farmer, Director of Organisational Development & Engagement, said: “Degree apprenticeships are a fantastic opportunity for people considering their opportunities after school or their future career. Our degree apprentices not only develop the skills needed to succeed in a greener, more sustainable future but they also develop a strong professional network all while attaining a university degree which is fully funded by E.ON.

“Our degree apprenticeship programmes support passionate people to develop the practical skills needed by businesses now and in the future, and to build meaningful careers aligned with their personal aspirations. I’d encourage anyone to consider a degree apprenticeship and explore what it could do for them.”

Imogen Chippendale, who recently graduated from our Future Leaders Degree Apprenticeship and now works as a Campaign Manager in E.ON Next, added: "Applying for E.ON's Business Degree Apprenticeship was one of the best decisions I've ever made. It's a really exciting time to be working in the energy industry as we look towards pushing a more sustainable future. And I’ve now secured my dream job as a campaign manager, fuelled by the passion for marketing I discovered during my degree apprenticeship."
