Greater Anglia is marking National Apprenticeship Week 2026 by celebrating its apprentices and sharing a week of content that highlights the impact of apprenticeships across the business.
Just under 200 members of the train company’s workforce are currently enrolled on fully funded apprenticeships, covering areas ranging from team leading to chartered management, data analysis, train driving, and customer service.
Throughout National Apprenticeship Week, which runs from 9 to 15 February, Greater Anglia will publish content including a feature blog on its website and a series of social media videos, featuring various colleagues’ experiences of undertaking an apprenticeship, progressing their careers and learning new skills.
As part of its apprenticeship scheme, Greater Anglia works in partnership with a range of training providers such as Train’d Up and Realise to support candidates’ access to opportunities across a wide range of roles.
Viktorija Starling, Early Careers and Apprenticeships Manager, will also share insights into what is on offer and how school, college, and university leavers can gain their first job on the railway.
Greater Anglia’s Early Careers and Apprenticeships Manager, Viktorija Starling, said:
“Apprenticeships are a fantastic way to learn new skills while doing a job you’re proud of, whether you’re starting out, stepping up or changing direction.
“Apprenticeships support progression, confidence and capability at any stage of a career, and we are proud to be expanding access to these opportunities across Greater Anglia.”
Martin Beable, Greater Anglia’s Managing Director, said:
“Apprenticeships play a vital role in developing the skills our railway needs for the future, while creating meaningful career opportunities for people across the region.
“We are proud to invest in our apprentices, supporting them to build rewarding careers and deliver excellent service for our customers.”
