Attend our apprentice open days and unlock your future

Applications for our next intake of apprentices are now open!

We’re holding two open days during National Apprenticeship Week where students and school leavers are invited to our Blackburn headquarters. They’ll be able to see the offices and facilities, and chat to current apprentices and staff to gain insight into not only the different apprenticeships on offer, but what it’s like to work at Vital Energi.

The open days are taking place on Tuesday 11th February from 4 - 7:30pm, and Thursday 13th February from 9:30am – 4pm.

We welcome anyone who is passionate about working on innovative projects that tackle harmful carbon emissions and make a real difference in the world. We’d love you to join us in our mission to protect our planet for future generations.

Our open days involve:

  • Touring our state-of-the-art training centre
  • Listening to industry experts about the diverse projects we deliver
  • Participating in STEM activities
  • Connecting with current apprentices to gain valuable insights into life at Vital Energi

There are many apprenticeships on offer, from our award-winning net zero apprenticeship programmes, energy modelling, and finance, to business admin, and HR.

This is truly an exciting and growing industry to be a part of. Not only will you get to work with the latest technologies, and work with industry leaders who are developing groundbreaking tech and IP to transform energy generation and storage, you’ll help different sectors on their transition to net zero. Sectors we work with include healthcare, education, industry, commercial, new build, and existing residential.

As exciting as our projects are, it's the people who make Vital Energi special and you'll get to work alongside nationally renowned experts with decades of experience and learn from the very best the industry has to offer.

“Kickstart your career with an apprenticeship at Vital Energi, where you'll gain hands-on experience working on sustainable and renewable energy projects that are shaping our future. Becoming part of the Vital Family alongside 61 other apprentices, you'll play a key role in delivering innovative solutions that drive the UK’s journey to net zero. Join us and be part of a company that’s not just building careers, but building a greener, more sustainable world. Your future starts here!”

Ella Stokes, Vital Energi’s HR & People Director

Our net zero apprenticeship programmes will take apprentices on an energy journey where they will learn and work within the renewable energy and heat network sectors.

We’re delighted to be collaborating with Salford City Council, where our net zero apprentices will complete their curriculum learning.

Allan Milne, Director of Apprenticeships & Employer Engagement at Salford City College Group, said:

"Apprenticeships are an excellent way to launch a successful career in the growing green energy sector. At Apprenticeships at Salford City College, our partnership with Vital Energi ensures that apprentices receive high-quality training from day one, working alongside industry experts on real-world sustainable energy projects. With dedicated support from the college, apprentices gain invaluable skills, achieve industry-recognised qualifications, and build a future-proof career that makes a real impact on the journey to net zero.”

Net Zero Apprentice, Mia Walker, who is on the technical pathway, started her apprenticeship journey last September and has worked across a number of different departments.

“For me, a Vital Energi Apprenticeship has given me the freedom to choose my own path within the company. We are able to experience different disciplines within multiple departments, gaining valuable knowledge from experienced colleagues that offer guidance and room for growth. Whether you have your career mapped out or don't, there are plenty of opportunities here at Vital.”
