Apprentice Programme

Your route to a future to be proud of

We love our premium drinks brands at Diageo – and the expertise, skills and quality that go into making, bottling and distributing them all over the world. That’s why our apprentice programmes are so important – and such a great opportunity. Join one of them and you’ll be trained to create something truly special.

If there’s one thing that marks out our programmes, it’s variety. One size doesn’t fit all here. We have four opportunities:

Packaging Operator Apprentice
Electrical/Mechanical Engineering Apprentice
Coppersmith Apprentice
Spirit Operator Apprentice

And the variety doesn’t end there. Depending on which programme most suits you, you’ll learn for two or four years. You’ll enjoy an exciting blended learning approach of in the classroom, in the workshop and on-site putting everything into real-world-practice.

Learn every day, every way

Recognised national qualifications matter to us. You’ll study for the ones specific to your programme (e.g. an SCQF Level 6, HNC in Engineering). But learning goes way beyond the classroom. We have teams at our various sites who have experience and expertise you won’t find anywhere else. And what’s more, they’ll like nothing more than sharing it with you.

You're never on your own

Support is everything at Diageo. It’s not a sink-or-swim environment here. In fact, quite the opposite. Talk to our current apprentices and they’ll tell you it’s more like a family. If you don’t know something, just ask.

Love the buzz

The pace of things is great too. You’ll learn quickly, enjoy the buzz of progress being made every day and you’ll be very proud to see the end result of your efforts when our premium drinks are shipped off to be enjoyed all around the world. It’s a very powerful thing to be able to say: ‘I did that’.

As a global company, we are always looking for great talent. Our opportunities are endless and we believe that the journey starts with our apprentices.

We’re looking for apprentices with real character. This is your chance to create a truly exciting future. Wherever you join us, you’ll need what we call character - curiosity, energy, resilience and a willingness to grow. Explore the links to see where you might fit in.
