In addition to entry-level roles with the airline and operator, the companies also have more than 30 technical and management apprenticeship opportunities available to existing colleagues. Together, the 100-plus opportunities range from Level 2 entry roles to Level 7 master’s degrees for senior leaders.

The 70 new apprentices will be recruited to work in a variety of areas within the businesses, including engineering, marketing, IT, payroll, operations and health and safety. 
  
Steve Heapy, Jet2.com and Jet2holidays chief executive, said: “We recognise how critical apprentices are to our ongoing success and growth, so are delighted to be announcing the recruitment of 70 apprentices in the coming year this National Apprenticeship Week. 

“We also have a range of apprenticeship opportunities available to existing colleagues who are looking to develop their careers. 

“The success of our award-winning business is down to the hard work of our colleagues, and we want to continue recruiting and developing the greatest team in the industry. Our apprenticeship programme plays a key role in that, so we look forward to welcoming even more apprentices next year and fostering existing talent, to ensure we continue to be the best in the industry.”
