Unconfirmed. Babcock International publishes no sponsorship policy for its degree, graduate, higher, advanced, intermediate, so we cannot state a firm answer. Babcock's own apprenticeship FAQ says the schemes are open to anyone with the required qualifications, from school leavers onwards, and does not mention nationality or UK residency at all. It does confirm that all employees, including apprentices, go through routine employment, security and medical checks before their start date, but gives no detail on clearance levels or whether a visa can be sponsored.
