Alstom UK: does its apprenticeships from level 2 to level 6, a level 7 sponsor a UK visa?

Unconfirmed. Alstom UK publishes no sponsorship policy for its apprenticeships from level 2 to level 6, a level 7, so we cannot state a firm answer. Alstom builds and maintains trains and signalling at Derby, Widnes and sites across the UK and Ireland, and runs its own national Training Academy. Its early careers ladder is wide: apprenticeships from Level 2 up to Level 6, a Level 7 postgraduate apprenticeship, and a two year Graduate Talent Development Programme that carries the chance of external professional recognition through the relevant institution. Everything is earn while you learn with fully funded education, and Alstom commits 20 per cent of working hours to training and study. Apprentices start with three weeks in the Training Academy learning the safety and quality fundamentals for their stream, then spend 30 to 40 hours a month there for the rest of the programme, supported by line managers, co-workers, apprentice managers and mentors. The timing is the thing to plan around: applications typically open in January or February and close at the end of March, with most apprentices starting in the first week of September. Nothing published addresses visa sponsorship.
