Hachette UK: does its traineeship programme sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyTraineeship Programme

Unconfirmed. Hachette UK publishes no sponsorship policy for its traineeship programme, so we cannot state a firm answer. The 12 month, paid traineeship offers 14 places across editorial, communications, marketing and publicity, rights, sales or consumer insight, with a current focus on Hachette's Sheffield office alongside its trade divisions and education business. It runs in partnership with literary agency Curtis Brown and bookshop chain Waterstones, and actively welcomes candidates from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, lower socio-economic backgrounds, and career changers or returners. The page gives no salary figure and does not mention sponsorship or right to work at all; applications for the most recent cohort were closed at the time of checking with the next round not yet announced.
