Alexander Dennis: does its two year business graduate programme of four six month sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyTwo year Business Graduate Programme of four six month placements, plus four year Modern Apprenticeships in automotive and electrical automotive engineering

Unconfirmed. Alexander Dennis publishes no sponsorship policy for its two year business graduate programme of four six month, so we cannot state a firm answer. Alexander Dennis builds buses and coaches at Falkirk, Larbert and Scarborough and is the largest bus manufacturer in the UK. Its early careers offer splits cleanly in two. The Modern Apprentice route is a four year training plan in Automotive Engineering or Electrical Automotive Engineering leading to a National Certificate, Higher National Certificate or a level 3 vocational qualification, and it is the route into the shop floor and the zero emission vehicle work. The Business Graduate Programme is two years of four six month placements across commercial and business functions with a mentor, aimed at graduates rather than engineers. Alexander Dennis publishes no salary, no application window and nothing about visa sponsorship for either route. Both are recruited through a Workable board that carried 37 live roles at the last crawl.

“Two-year programme with four six-month placements across key business areas”
Alexander Dennis, from its own careers pages
The catch: The apprenticeship is Scottish in shape, not English. It is a Modern Apprenticeship leading to National Certificate and HNC, so an applicant comparing it against English Level 3 and degree apprenticeship framing is comparing different qualification ladders.
