Welsh Government opens the door to new Careers with 35 apprenticeship opportunities.

Welsh Government is offering a range of apprenticeship opportunities to help people build skills whilst delivering for the people of Wales.

The apprenticeships span the whole of Wales and opportunities and will offer experience across government ranging from Transport and Tourism to Energy and Education.

The Welsh Government has successfully delivered its apprenticeship scheme for a number of years, providing valuable development opportunities across the organisation. In the most recent recruitment campaign, around 70 individuals were appointed through the scheme.

The new apprenticeship roles can be applied for from today (17 August) and the vacancies will remain open throughout September.

Sam Faulkner, former apprentice and current Apprenticeships & Early Talent Manager at Welsh Government said:

An apprenticeship opened the door for me. Now I get to hold it open for others. I started my career as an apprentice, looking for an opportunity – what I found was confidence and the chance to make a difference. 
Someone believed in my potential, and now I have the privilege of doing the same for others. From apprentice to Apprenticeships Manager. Proof that one opportunity can change everything. 

Tia Mais, a previous apprentice and current User Researcher at Welsh Government said:

When I left school, I had no idea what my future would hold or what career path I wanted to take. Choosing a DDaT apprenticeship with the Welsh Government was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Of course, I was nervous, I had never worked before, let alone worked in digital. But that's what's amazing about an apprenticeship. It gives you the opportunity to start your career, start new goals and learn as you go. I've not only found a career that I love, but I've also discovered my potential by stepping outside my comfort zone and met incredible people along the way.

The Deputy Minister for Skills and Tertiary Education, Cefin Campbell said:

Welsh Government is a national employer, and I am proud we can demonstrate our commitment to apprenticeships by offering these opportunities across Wales. 

Investing in apprenticeships is a central part of Wales’ future skills system and I know how valuable these opportunities can be. These apprenticeship vacancies are us putting our money where our mouth is and providing opportunities for people to gain high-quality skills and experience.

Whether you have just got your exam results, leaving school or university or looking to change careers there will be an opportunity for you. I encourage anyone looking to develop new skills to apply and help us to deliver public services and supporting communities across Wales.
