Whatever route you choose, you will be in good company. As well as your own training programme, you will meet up with  all the other apprentices at the quarterly apprentice forum and other events so that you develop your career together.

Recruitment process

Apprentice vacancies are usually advertised in June each year on the current vacancies page of our website.  Apprenticeships start in September/October.

Applicants who are successful in the first stages of the recruitment process are selected to attend a five day 'bootcamp' where they learn about interview techniques, CV writing and employability skills. The bootcamp includes a tour of the Port as well as an opportunity to meet the managers the successful apprentices would be working with. Everyone who completes the bootcamp is guaranteed an interview with the Port, and those who are unsuccessful are given support to help them find alternative employment.
