“Right to live and work in the UK and have lived in the EEA for the last three years”

Turner & Townsend, from its own careers pages

The catch: The requirement is phrased as EEA residency, not just UK residency, but is applied to a UK apprenticeship, so time spent in other EEA countries counts toward the three years while time on a UK student visa from outside the EEA typically would not.
