M&G Apprenticeships 2027

Applications open in February 2027.

No published policyApprenticeships (Finance, Human Resources, Technology, Risk, Wealth and Asset Management)

Unconfirmed. M&G publishes no sponsorship policy for its apprenticeships, so we cannot state a firm answer. M&G's apprenticeships page and its dedicated FAQ for graduates, apprentices and interns describe the programme, structure and application process but neither page has a question or statement about visa sponsorship, right to work, or UK residency. Given M&G says nothing, the standard apprenticeship funding rules, which normally require UK/EEA residency and block sponsorship, likely still apply even though M&G has not confirmed this itself.

The catch: The FAQ page lists application, testing and general questions in detail but has no eligibility or visa section at all, which is unusual next to peers like L&G and Aviva that do address it directly.
