Oxfordshire's largest employer

The University of Oxford is currently Oxfordshire's largest employer, employing over 14,000 staff members.

They offer a variety of career opportunities, and we partner with them to offer apprenticeships in Business Administration, Engineering, Horticulture, Property Maintenance, Plumbing and Carpentry.

"There are some fantastic opportunities, and they are not just for young people. Apprenticeships provide us with an opportunity to also develop our existing staff in their professional development."

Apprenticeship Success:

Lucy joined the University of Oxford as an Apprentice Finance and Accounting Technician; quickly making an immediate strong first impression within her workplace with colleagues describing her as “brilliant”.

Lucy’s dedication was widely recognised, as she got stuck in with any task asked of her and always offered to help with anything she sees.

Lucy was nominated for the Rising Star Award in the 2023 Oxfordshire Apprenticeship Awards, taking home the winning title in the May 2023 ceremony.
