At Barclays, Apprenticeships are a practical way to start or restart your career. Whether you're just out of school, returning to work, or changing direction, we’ll support you with proper training, a permanent role, and the chance to grow.
From your first day, you’ll be earning a salary, working towards a recognised qualification (up to degree level), and doing real work — like speaking to customers, learning how payments are processed, or helping teams stay organised. You’ll be part of a team, surrounded by people who want you to succeed.
With over a decade of experience running Apprenticeships, we know how to help you build skills that last. You don’t need to take the traditional route to build a future you’re proud of.
Apprenticeships
If you’ve got GCSEs or National 5s, our Apprenticeships give you a clear, practical route into full-time work. Over two years, you’ll earn a salary, gain a recognised qualification, and learn while doing, all while being treated like any other Barclays colleague from day one. It’s a straightforward way to build your skills, your confidence, and your future.
Higher and Degree or Graduate apprenticeships
With A-Levels or Highers, you can earn a salary, gain experience, and work towards a university-level qualification, all at the same time. Our Higher Apprenticeships run for up to four years and give you the tools to grow your skills and confidence.
You’ll learn on the job, get support from experienced teams, and take big steps toward a career you can be proud of, all while getting paid from day one.
Our Apprentices
Meet the apprentices shaping their futures at Barclays. Hear, in their own words, what it's like to learn, earn and grow in a career that truly matters.
Think differently about what you could achieve.
Getting qualified, whether that means A Levels or a Degree, is a major milestone. But we know it’s not always easy. Sometimes the timing, the cost, or life circumstances make it feel out of reach. That’s why our Apprenticeship programmes offer something different. You’ll start in a permanent, full-time role, earning a salary and working towards a recognised qualification (up to a degree level) all while learning on the job. You might be helping customers in a branch, supporting digital services behind the scenes, or working with data in a central team. Whatever the role, you’ll gain real experience, be part of a team that supports you, and grow in a way that fits your life. Whether you’re finishing school or thinking about a new direction, we’ll help you take that next step, and build a career you never expected.
