2023 INTAKE APPLICANTS – PLEASE READ

2023 INTAKE APPLICANTS
A reminder to make sure you check your e-mails including spam/junk folders. Companies looking to take on apprentices this year often e-mail applicants they are interested in to set up their own interviews and you should respond to any e-mails promptly.
The same applies to checking and answering any calls you receive as this again could be companies trying to get hold of you.
We have been made aware from companies that they have tried to contact some applicants who have not replied to e-mails or telephone messages.
If you have decided you do not wish to progress your application further this year, please let us know ASAP so we can update both our records and the online portal of applications which companies have access to. This will hopefully help to avoid companies wasting their time trying to contact applicants who don’t respond to e-mails or telephone calls.
