Princes Group: does its apprenticeship programme sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyApprenticeship Programme (Engineering, Food Technology and Technical, Project Management, Coaching, Leadership)

Unconfirmed. Princes Group publishes no sponsorship policy for its apprenticeship programme, so we cannot state a firm answer. Princes Group, the Liverpool headquartered food and drink manufacturer behind Princes, Napolina and Crosse and Blackwell, says it has over 60 colleagues across the UK on an apprenticeship at any time. The range runs from 16 year old engineering apprentices to established colleagues taking coaching, project management or managerial qualifications. Published examples include Engineering, Project Management, Coaching, Leadership, Food Technology and Technical, and programmes run from 15 months to four years. Princes describes the programme as offering continuous learning, access to a wide variety of courses and qualifications, and career development tools. It publishes no salary, no entry requirements, no application window and no visa or right to work position, and the apprenticeship page routes to the general vacancy board rather than a dedicated intake.

The catch: The apprenticeship page mixes school leaver entry with upskilling for existing staff, so the count of 60 apprentices is not 60 open entry level places. The most recent apprenticeship case studies on the page date from 2023 and 2024.
