Jet2 creates more apprenticeship opportunities

Jet2 and Jet2holidays are making 70 new apprenticeship positions available this year.

The sister companies also have more than 30 apprenticeship opportunities across technical and management to existing staff looking to develop their careers and learn new skills.

The 70 will be recruited to work in a variety of areas within the businesses, including engineering, marketing, IT, payroll, customer services, planning, operations control, and health and safety.

The initiatives coincide with 16th annual National Apprenticeship Week.

Jet2 and Jet2holidays held their first apprentice graduation ceremony for 13 staff in November.

Chief executive Steve Heapy said: “We recognise how critical apprentices are to our ongoing success and growth, so are delighted to be announcing the recruitment of 70 apprentices in the coming year this National Apprenticeship Week. 

“We also have a range of apprenticeship opportunities available to existing colleagues who are looking to develop their careers. 

“The future of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays looks very bright, and we are looking ahead with real confidence. The success of our award-winning business is down to the hard work of our colleagues, and we want to continue recruiting and developing the greatest team in the industry. 

“Our apprenticeship programme plays a key role in that, so we look forward to welcoming even more apprentices next year and fostering existing talent, to ensure we continue to be the best in the industry.”
