DHL Express Apprenticeships Overview


​​​​​​​At DHL Express we recognise the importance of nurturing our next generation of talent and in order to support this we offer a variety of apprenticeship programmes within functions such as HR, IT, Finance or Customer Services. 
Alongside completing the apprenticeship programme, our apprentices benefit from gaining real life work experience throughout the duration of their course along with excellent career progression opportunities following programme completion. 
Our apprenticeship programmes range from 2 – 4 years, dependant on the level you are undertaking, during this period you are supported every step of the way by managers, mentors, colleagues.

What does the training look like?
​​​​​​​
Most of the training is vocational and as such will be delivered in the workplace, ensuring you will learn the skills you need to do the job well. The rest of the training is given by a Learning provider/college in partnership with DHL, either at the workplace, off-site (perhaps at college) or via e-learning platforms.
The training is specifically tailored to ensure your personal goals are met and DHL develop the skills we need, giving apprentices a real advantage in our workplace. This means that apprentices not only have better long term salary prospects, but they also have excellent progression opportunities, whether looking to study further or develop their careers within DHL.
