National Apprenticeships Week 2023

This National Apprenticeship Week we're sharing stories from our colleagues who are working towards or have completed apprenticeships with M&S. Entry-level apprenticeships offer the first step towards an exciting and rewarding career and we are also using staff apprenticeships to elevate career development.  In this short video, we hear from our colleagues about why they chose to embark on an apprenticeship with M&S, how they are helping with career development and how apprenticeships are helping us to reach untapped talent.
