Unconfirmed. Diageo publishes no sponsorship policy for its graduate apprenticeship, beng, so we cannot state a firm answer.

The catch: Diageo's degree-level engineering apprenticeship is Scotland-based (Heriot-Watt, SCQF framework), which is a different funding and residency regime from the rest-of-UK apprenticeship rules, so do not assume the standard England three-year residency rule applies unmodified.
