Billington Academy
Many employers offer a choice between a practical and an academic route into the workplace, but at Billington Structures we offer both. We welcome new apprentices and focus on upskilling our existing employees to ensure everyone can grow and progress within their careers.
Apprenticeships
Within the Billington Group, we value the development and training of our employees and regularly take on interns and apprentices in a variety of departments.
From day one, our trainees and apprentices are part of the team and receive support and mentoring from qualified experienced professionals across the business to develop into their chosen roles.
The introduction of a wider scope of courses at higher levels, including full degree apprenticeships has allowed not only for the recruitment of higher level apprentices and trainees but also created an opportunity for the business to upskill existing employees, something which we always encourage across the business.
We offer all of our apprentices the opportunity to gain experience across all departments by getting involved in our trainee training plan initiative, which includes placements across the business to gain a deeper understanding of how each department works independently and collectively.
We also provide all of our apprentices with the following:
Formal Qualification
Formal and industry recognised qualifications for a variety of professions.
Competitive Salary
Fair and competitive wage package for all apprentices and trainees.
Benefits Package
Enhance job satisfaction and improve the overall well-being of all apprentices.
Tailored Development
Individual plan for future growth and development in the company.

Student Engagement
