Demand spikes for Auto Windscreens apprenticeships
Demand for Auto Windscreens apprenticeships has risen eight per cent this year, with 1,084 applications so far.
The company offers contact centre and automotive glazing technician apprenticeships, with applications for contact centre vacancies more than three times higher than they were in 2023.
Auto Windscreens is recruiting for up to 17 positions, which will start later this month and will be based at its contact centre in Derbyshire and across its network of UK service centres.
Sean Draycott, operations director at Auto Windscreens, said: “Apprenticeships have always been crucial to our whole business, from our contact centre to our network of service centres and are a great way to introduce new talent, ideas and support our existing workforce.
“It’s encouraging to see the numbers of applicants increase this year, as more people are seeing a vocational alternative to higher education or are looking for a change in their career.
“Three out of the five members of our leadership team worked their way up to senior positions from starting with Auto Windscreens as trainees, including our managing director, James MacBeth. So many of our colleagues are testament that apprenticeships can be an invaluable stepping stone to long and rewarding careers.”
