Cadent Gas: does its future engineering programme, 24 months, with separate gcse and degree entry routes sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyFuture Engineering Programme, 24 months, with separate GCSE and degree entry routes

Unconfirmed. Cadent Gas publishes no sponsorship policy for its future engineering programme, 24 months, with separate gcse and degree entry routes, so we cannot state a firm answer. Cadent Gas is the UK's largest gas distribution network. Its Future Engineering Programme runs 24 months and takes two kinds of entrant. With a minimum grade B or 5 GCSE in maths you follow a technical logbook with sponsored further education to an HNC in Mechanical Engineering, working towards Engineering Technician registration. With an engineering degree you do four six month placements on a Professional Engineering Program accredited by IGEM with mentorship through professional registration towards Incorporated or Chartered status. A dedicated programme manager, business mentor and line manager run regular reviews, and hybrid working is offered. On sponsorship, Cadent's careers FAQ says there are many jobs it might be able to sponsor visas for, depending on the job and the candidate, and that the recruiter will say if a role is appropriate. Selection is application, screening, a Saville aptitude assessment, then an assessment centre.

Cadent Gas, from its own careers pages

The catch: The word sponsorship appears on this page only as 'sponsored further education', which is Cadent funding an HNC, not a visa. Do not read it as an immigration position. Sponsorship is decided role by role, so the FAQ's openness is not a guarantee for any particular Future Talent vacancy. Cadent also notes roles can only be worked in the UK and not overseas.
