Apprenticeships

Our Apprenticeships are a fantastic alternative to further education. You get to learn new skills that you’ll use in real-world situations from day one and you’ll get paid while you do it! It’s a win-win really.

Earn and learn

Our Apprenticeships give you time on the job doing real work while you’re studying for your qualifications, giving you the chance to learn from your work and put the things you learn on your course into practice. There are loads of jobs to choose from including digital and technology, customer service, project management and more!

You won’t be on your own either. From day one, you’ll have support from the Early Talent team, an apprentice buddy, your line manager, as well as a Learning Coach from your training provider, we’ve all got your back.

Milena: Hi. My name is Milena.

Mariam: My name is Mariam.

Lisa: I’m Lisa.

Delphine: My name is Delphine.

Ben: I’m Ben.

Natan: Hi, I’m Natan and I am an iOS developer for NatWest and I’ll tell you more about my apprenticeship.

Delphine: It is very rewarding to be working towards a qualification and a job.

Lisa: The fact that I’m able to do different placements means I’ve gained knowledge across loads of different areas within finance, which has been a massive bonus.

Ben: I feel like from day one I’ve been allowed to express myself and take on new challenges, which I haven’t done before.

Mariam: I think it’s important to work for an organisation whose values reflect your own and mine work really well with NatWest.

Natan: So I work with a bunch of senior developers all over the world. So it’s like having 20 teachers just to myself.

Milena: I wanted to move quickly. I didn’t want to spend four years getting a degree. I wanted to have both the skills and the experience in a much quicker time.

Degree Level Apprenticeships

Just because you’re not going to University doesn’t mean you can’t get a degree. Our Degree Level Apprenticeships give you all of the benefits of a regular Apprenticeship but you’ll get a full degree or equivalent qualification at the end of it.

These usually take place over a few years, so you’ll get the chance to learn and make friendships that’ll last a lifetime – all while being paid to do a real job that matters.

Our purpose

An apprenticeship with us will give you the chance to have a positive impact on the people, families and communities we serve. By bringing your fresh perspective and ideas to the bank, you’ll help us think differently.

You’ll be part of an organisation that really values the contributions that each and every one of our colleagues make every single day.

Our apprentices work across all areas of the bank, but they support the three key focus areas that really bring our purpose to life; learning, enterprise and climate.
