Young's: does its apprenticeships sponsor a UK visa?
Unconfirmed. Young's publishes no sponsorship policy for its apprenticeships, so we cannot state a firm answer. Young's is the London pub company behind a mostly southern estate of pubs and rooms, and its apprenticeship offer is the clearest published by a pub group of its size because every course is named with its level. Eight run at once: Level 2 Commis Chef, Level 3 Chef De Partie, Level 3 Senior Production Chef, Level 3 Learning and Development Practitioner, Level 3 Hospitality Supervisor, Level 4 Hospitality Manager, Level 5 Operations or Departmental Manager, and Level 4 Marketing Executive. That spread means the same framework covers a kitchen entrant, a trainer and a marketer. The company had 75 apprentices on programme at the time it published this. Three of the courses are described as major programmes delivered with The Performance Learning Group, with further individual apprenticeship opportunities across the business. Apprenticeships sit inside a wider Career Pathway that also includes a Service Masters programme and a three month General Manager Designate finishing school, and Young's recruits over 70 per cent of its General Managers from within the company.

Does the pay clear the UK Skilled Worker salary threshold?
The pay for this scheme is not published clearly enough to judge against the threshold.
What is the catch international students miss with Young's?
Young's own eligibility answer requires you to already be in full time employment of 30 hours a week, which in practice means you join Young's in a pub or kitchen role first and take the apprenticeship afterwards. The same answer requires you to live full time in the UK, which is a residence condition rather than a nationality or visa bar, and Young's never says whether it sponsors. Enquiries go through a social media inbox or your General Manager rather than a formal application route.
How should I confirm Young's's sponsorship before applying?
Read the specific vacancy on Young's's careers site, ask its early-careers team directly, and check the employer on the gov.uk Register of Licensed Sponsors. Policies and thresholds change, so treat this page as a starting point and confirm for the exact role and cycle.
