Welcome to our apprentices.

In October, as part of their continued professional development, 39 Wetherspoon managers have embarked on a new apprenticeship journey in collaboration with Leeds Beckett University.

We believe in investing in our people – with the level 5 operations/departmental manager and level 6 chartered manager degree apprenticeships offering managers opportunities for continual growth and progression. Among other things, our apprentices cover modules in project management, strategic leadership, risk analysis, leadership and talent development.

Through offering practical on-the-job experience, along with face-to-face and virtual classroom learning, apprenticeships provide managers with a valuable blend of skills and knowledge which they can use to help to lead and grow their pub teams and deliver positive results.

Some of our apprentices shared their thoughts.

“I’ve been in the industry for 25 years and have never known a training and development programme like I’ve received in my first few months at Wetherspoon.”

“I feel so lucky that I’ve been given a second chance at education. I left school with few qualifications – and, years later, Wetherspoon is supporting my study to help me to develop, both professionally and personally.”

We wish all of our apprentices the best of luck on their programme.
