The UK’s largest tour operator plans to invest £1.4 million into its Appoint an Apprentice scheme which is now in its third year.

In 2023, the scheme approved apprenticeships worth nearly £500,000, for 50 different companies, which saw them recruit 72 new apprentices.

Last year Jet2holidays provided £1.2 million of funding – more than double the first year’s amount.

In 2024, Admiral Travel and Craig Travel took part in the scheme, which resulted in an apprentice being brought into the business. The two brands have agency branches across Cumbria, Greater Manchester and Cheshire.
