Apprenticeships at Mitie

An apprenticeship with Mitie is an incredible way to build your experience, gain a professional qualification and work towards a brilliant future. Every year, we invest in apprentices across the UK, helping people of all ages start, change or accelerate their careers.

An apprenticeship at Mitie is more than a qualification

It’s a paid role, hands-on experience and a pathway into a long-term career with one of the UK’s leading facilities management and professional services organisations. From keeping hospitals running safely, to maintaining schools, offices, transport hubs and public spaces, our apprentices help care for the places where people live, work, learn and travel every day.

We offer apprenticeships at multiple levels

From entry-level roles through to higher and degree apprenticeships, combining structured learning with real responsibility from day one. We are creating an environment where everyone has a voice and is treated equally, and are investing in equality, diversity and inclusion programmes to ensure all our colleagues can bring their true selves to work. We are proud that again this year we are listed in the UK Top 50 Inclusive Companies List.

We will do all we can to support you on every step of your career journey – you just need to be yourself and bring some ambition, drive and commitment to succeed in your chosen apprenticeship.
