Providing outstanding learning opportunities for our people is something we are passionate about here at SUEZ, and we see apprenticeships as a key element of our learning vision. I am delighted that SUEZ has been recognised for our apprenticeship programme by winning the ‘Large Employer of the Year’ award for apprenticeships at the Weston College Business Awards 2019. I would like to thank our resourcing team, our fantastic learning partners and all our apprentices who have embraced their opportunities and put so much hard work into building their careers with SUEZ.Dr Tracey Leghorn , Chief Business Services Officer | SUEZ recycling and recovery UK
Principal and CEO of Weston College Group, Dr Paul Phillips, who hosted the awards, said: “Many congratulations to SUEZ recycling and recovery UK and all of our award winners.
“This year we received a record number of nominations. While this made judging an unenviable task, it highlights the wealth of talent among our learners and the level of dedication and expertise within our employer network.
“Without the support of SUEZ recycling and recovery UK and our other business partners, it wouldn’t be possible to provide learners with the skills and experience they require in the world of work.”
Our apprenticeship programme covers many disciplines, from HGV fitter, business administrator, tax or payroll assistant to mechanical engineer. Irrespective of the specialist area, all apprentices in our organisation benefit from learning beyond the boundaries of their role and course and our aim is to provide them with access to gain a holistic understanding the business and how it operates.
In total, SUEZ has 50 apprentices in the UK with each person playing an integral and important role in our organisation.
