Open for applicants across Northern Ireland and the UK, early careers and apprenticeship manager at Moy Park, Nicola Hayward, said the programme is a great way for young people to excel in a high growth area: “The food industry has some of the most innovative engineering equipment available and our apprenticeship programme equips young people with invaluable practical skills to thrive in this ever-evolving sector.
"Apprentices form an integral part of our business, bringing fresh ideas and perspectives which is essential to our position at the forefront of cutting-edge food innovation."With over 20 places up for grabs, we look forward to welcoming new recruits in the coming months.” Stephen Spence, an engineering apprentice at Moy Park, said apprenticeships are great for developing career-ready skills: “I would recommend an apprenticeship to anybody who enjoys practical learning.
"Personally, I feel that I learn more by being hands on, so the opportunity to learn in a classroom and immediately be able to put it into practice the next day at work, is the perfect way for me to earn my qualifications, and quickly develop skills that I can use throughout my career."Being an apprentice is also being part of a business, so you get the benefits that comes from being part of a team as well as a student.”
