We’ve been running our apprenticeship programme for almost 20 years and in that time, we’ve supported over 200 apprentices with 95% of these going on to secure permanent employment with us.
We are committed to recruiting and developing young people from the Wakefield district. Our award-winning apprenticeship programme is just one of the schemes we run that helps us do this.
Open to anyone aged over 16, our programme offers a chance to contribute to creating confident communities and earn money while you learn, with no training fees.
You can expect to earn over £20,000 in your second year.
An apprenticeship with WDH is a chance to start your career journey, or even take the opportunity to re-train in a growing, vibrant sector.
You will be supported every step of the way to grow and develop your skills while you gain real-life experience by working with trusted mentors.
Our apprenticeship vacancies for 2024 are now closed but keep an eye out on social media and our Careers page for details of our next recruitment cycle in 2025.
