Kier<\/a> has launched a brand-new apprenticeship bursary during National Apprenticeship Week<\/a>, the first to be offered in the built environment<\/h2>\n

The apprenticeship\u00a0bursary will be open to new and existing apprentices across all of Kier\u2019s business<\/a> who meet the key criteria of a household income of below \u00a317,000. It will provide support of \u00a31,000 per year for each apprentice for the duration of their apprenticeship. The bursary has been introduced to support apprentices who may benefit from\u00a0additional financial support to enter or continue their journey in the workplace.<\/p>\n

Jan Atkinson, talent and organisational development director at Kier, commented: \u201cWe\u2019re excited to be the first company in the built environment to launch an apprenticeship<\/a> bursary.<\/p>\n

\u201cStarting your career and embarking on an apprenticeship should be an exciting time but, our experience has shown us that, for some people, the costs of entering the workplace itself can become a barrier. We wanted to take action that would have a direct benefit at an individual level, hopefully with this bursary we can open up access to our apprenticeships even further.\u201d<\/p>\n
