During your apprenticeship, you will receive two different types of training.

‘On‑the‑job’ training will be delivered by Schneider Electric, as your employer. You’ll receive training and supervision to help you perform the job you’ve been hired to do. This will include skills and knowledge that fall outside of the apprenticeship but are needed for the job role. As well as providing ‘on‑the‑job’ training, it is important that we support you in additional ways to ensure your success.

Types of support will include:

• A comprehensive induction
• Mentoring or regular one‑to‑one guidance
• Social enrichment and networking opportunities
• Performance reviews
• Mental health and wellbeing support
• Feedback opportunities

‘Off‑the‑job’ training is delivered by one of our carefully selected Training Providers during your normal working hours. You will spend at least 20% (average 6 hours per week) of your working hours completing ‘off‑the‑job’ training. This is protected time and is a requirement for apprenticeship delivery. This training will teach you the knowledge, skills, and behaviours set out in the apprenticeship standard so you can achieve occupational competence.

37.5 hours per week to be worked from Monday to Friday.

Exact start and finish times to be agreed upon with Line Manager. Some of these hours will be allocated to off‑the‑job training as part of your Apprenticeship Programme.

Monday to Thursday: 07:55 to 16:25

Friday: 07:55 to 13:25
