Kier is offering apprenticeships in Northamptonshire. It highways division held a series of virtual events last week to celebrate National Apprenticeship Week.

The events were held countrywide to explore the different career opportunities and paths a person can follow within the highways industry.

Speaking about National Apprenticeship Week, Kier Highways talent, development and inclusion manager, Tracey Collins, said: “We have an abundance of career opportunities at Kier Highways.

“Under usual circumstances we’d be able to physically host recruitment events and career workshops at schools. Until we can do that again, we wanted to host virtual information sessions for any young person interested in a career in highways.”
