Unconfirmed. John Lewis Partnership publishes no sponsorship policy for its degree apprenticeships, so we cannot state a firm answer. The Partnership's own apprenticeships page confirms schemes exist from Level 2 up to degree level across Data, Leadership, Finance, HR, Supply Chain and Retail, but states plainly that not every scheme is advertised outside the business. No residency, right to work or visa sponsorship statement was found on the pages reviewed.
