Hear from Mitie apprentices

Whether you’re looking to start an apprenticeship straight out of school or college, or you have more experience and are exploring the possibility of a career change, Mitie could provide the opportunity you’re looking for. Hear what our current apprentices have to say about their experiences of training at one of the UK’s largest facilities management organisations.

“My industry qualification means I’ll never be short of work”

Imran joined Mitie as an electrical apprentice based at University College London Hospitals. He works alongside qualified engineers within a busy hospital in London where he undertakes a range of electrical maintenance tasks to ensure electrical systems are working safely and as they should be.

“I would definitely recommend an apprenticeship at Mitie. Not everyday is the same, we get to work on a lot of different things… We work as a team and the work we do is really valuable.”

“I would definitely recommend the apprenticeship path”

Shani, Stores Person at Mitie, wanted a career change but thought apprenticeships were just for school leavers. Now she’s successfully using her skills and passion for engineering, and helping to keep hospitals running smoothly.

“Prior to working for Mitie, I worked in retail. I knew I wanted to change careers, but as a mum of six, I needed to find something that gave me the balance I needed.”
