Thank you for Applying

Our apprenticeships start all year round, with new opportunities being added all the time. Our apprenticeship vacancies work in the same way as any other job application, with successful candidates starting their programme as soon as possible after receiving an offer.

If you are looking to begin an apprenticeship after leaving school and completing your GCSEs or A-Levels, we would advise you to begin applying for vacancies with Baltic Apprenticeships as you are finishing your exams. We’ll you help you through the application process and will put you forward for vacancies when you are available to begin an apprenticeship full-time.

WHAT IS THE CLOSING DATE FOR A BALTIC APPRENTICESHIP VACANCY?

Our vacancies do not have a set closing date. The vacancy will close once the role is filled, so we recommend that you apply as soon as possible.

Our team review every single application to ensure that each candidate is given thorough consideration, but due to the high volume of applications we receive, unfortunately, we cannot respond to every application.

If we think you would be a good fit for the vacancy, we will be in touch (on average) within 5 working days, but this can differ from case to case. We will contact you for an informal phone call to get to know you a little more and to discuss the vacancy in more detail.

From this point, we will be in touch regularly to keep you updated on your application.

If you move forward to an interview or work trial, we will always get in touch with further information and feedback for you as soon as we hear back from the employer. The time scales of this can vary depending on individual employers and their own recruitment processes.

When you apply for an apprenticeship with us, our team will review your application. If we think you’d be a good fit for the vacancy, we will contact you by phone or email. We like to chat with our future apprentices, learning more about you and the kind of apprenticeship you are looking for.

If we think you’re a good fit for the vacancy, we’ll put you on the shortlist and recommend you to the employer. They may invite you for an interview (either over the phone, via video call, or in person) or to take part in their usual recruitment process.

If you are successful at the interview stage, we recommend that our employers offer you a work trial. This is usually one to two days where you get to meet the team, learn more about what you’ll be doing and give things a go. This is important for both parties to get to know each other and to feel confident that you’ll be happy in the job role.

If the work trial goes well, you’ll receive an official offer of an apprenticeship.

If you don’t get an offer after your first interview, don’t worry – this happens to lots of amazing candidates. If you’d like to continue your search, we can add you to our talent pool, and help you find the right apprenticeship opportunity.

Our Recruitment Team are here to set you up for success and match the right person to the right role. We can support you to make the most of your CV, talk through potential interview questions, and point you in the right direction for extra skills training make your application stand out.

You’ll usually work with the same person throughout the application process, so they’ll get to know you – communicating all your strengths to our prospective employers.
