To give you a flavour of what it's like to be on our Apprenticeship Programme, hear from one of our Engineering apprentices:

"I'm currently in the final year of my Engineering Apprenticeship. It has been a fantastic experience through the programme so far. It's providing me with the knowledge and skills to start my career in engineering. On the apprenticeship programme, I can study the theory as well as gain experience with the equipment and machines we have on site. This is a great way to develop as I can apply the theory and knowledge learned in the classroom to practical situations in Lifescan. The whole engineering team are always keen to help the apprentices and share knowledge. I would highly recommend the Lifescan apprenticeship to anyone that would like a great start to an engineering career."
