During your apprenticeship, you will receive two types of training.


On-the-job training will be delivered by Schneider Electric, your employer. You’ll receive training and supervision to help you perform your role.

This training will teach you the knowledge, skills, and behaviours outlined in the apprenticeship standard, enabling you to achieve occupational competence.

Upon successful completion of your apprenticeship and depending on your performance, there may be an opportunity for you to transition into a permanent role at Schneider Electric!

  • All applicants must have a permanent right to work in the UK, as Schneider Electric is unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role.

Diversity and inclusion are at the heart of Schneider Electric. They are integral to their history, culture, and identity.

Schneider Electric recognises that embracing diversity unlocks innovation and creativity, fostering collaboration. They strive to ensure that their employees reflect the diversity of the communities and customers they serve.
