Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC): does its engineering and computing apprenticeships sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyEngineering and Computing Apprenticeships

Unconfirmed. Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) publishes no sponsorship policy for its engineering and computing apprenticeships, so we cannot state a firm answer. STFC's apprenticeships include a four year Level 3 engineering apprenticeship in mechanical, electrical and electronic specialisms, with the first year at a training provider and years two to four rotating through departments on day release, and computing apprenticeships at Levels 4 and 6 working towards a BSc (Hons) Digital and Technology Solutions degree. Sites are Rutherford Appleton Laboratory at Harwell, Daresbury Laboratory in Cheshire and the UK ATC in Edinburgh. Other apprenticeships cover ICT infrastructure support, business administration, project management, heating and ventilation, and carpentry. The page gives no pay, no 2027 dates and nothing on visas.
