UKAEA: does its advanced engineering, mechanical design engineer, engineering technician, procurement, project management, electrical engineering and business support apprenticeships sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyAdvanced Engineering, Mechanical Design Engineer, Engineering Technician, Procurement, Project Management, Electrical Engineering and Business Support Apprenticeships

Unconfirmed. UKAEA publishes no sponsorship policy for its advanced engineering, mechanical design engineer, engineering technician, procurement, project management, electrical engineering and business support apprenticeships, so we cannot state a firm answer. UK Atomic Energy Authority's careers page lists named apprenticeships across engineering, procurement, project management and business support, based at Culham Science Centre near Abingdon, in Rotherham, and at an Oxfordshire Advanced Skills centre. It states the GCSE entry requirements but gives no statement on nationality, UK residency, security clearance or visa sponsorship, despite UKAEA working on nuclear fusion research where vetting is plausible.
