Notice Information
Notice Title
Early Careers Recruitment Schools Partner
Notice Description
In 2023, AWE recruited c. 566 into early careers roles and this was largely due to a shift towards using advanced intelligence data to streamline talent pool efficiency. AWE have seen exceptional results so far with a 200% increase in overall expected applications received. AWE want to extend this ambition and deepen the understanding of current and hidden talent pools to uncover new mechanisms to access, inspire, and hire from diverse audiences. A large proportion of AWE roles are for candidates with STEM backgrounds, meaning talent pools are highly sought after. AWE also has an increased focus on the attraction of minority groups with the expectation set to hire from the total 3 diversity pathways (40% female, 15% ethnic minority and 15% socially disadvantaged). In 2024/25 AWE estimate the need for a total of 4,200 applications for apprentice roles, which is an increase of 13% vs. 2023/24 and a similar growth trajectory is expected for 2025/26. AWE require one DBS compliant provider to drive high volumes of apprenticeship applications into the recruitment funnel across Engineering, Science and Business functions at AWE. The provider must generate sufficient applications with the required qualifications to meet AWE's expansion plans and diversity objectives by attending schools/colleges and leveraging events, with the AWE Corporate Affairs Team, to engage prospective applicants.
