Cereal giant, Kellogg’s UK, has partnered with Apprenticeships at Salford City College to offer an exciting opportunity for two apprentices to join its team at the MediaCityUK based headquarters in Manchester.   This will be the first time that Kellogg’s have offered an apprenticeship scheme at its Head Office, and it comes in addition to the apprenticeship programme that has been running at its Trafford Park factory since 1957. Those who apply will have the chance to gain three years’ experience with the company.   The newly introduced roles will provide apprentices with hands on experience in several commercial teams including sales, marketing and supply chain.  
Allan Milne, Head of Apprenticeships and Business Development at Salford City College, said: “We are delighted to be working with Kellogg’s on this innovative apprenticeship programme. The opportunities available will ensure that the successful candidates will receive a fantastic experience with a great organisation.”
  The successful candidates will gain two qualifications at Apprenticeships at Salford City College, completing a Business Admin Level 3 Apprenticeship in the first year. The apprentices will then determine their final two years and decide to join the sales or marketing team – resulting in either a Sales or Marketing Executive Level 4 Apprenticeship.
  Chris Jones, Kellogg’s HR director UK & Ireland said: “I am very pleased to introduce the first ever commercial apprenticeship scheme to the Kellogg’s MediaCityUK office. This is a great opportunity for two apprentices to get hands-on and varied experience with the UK’s favourite breakfast brand – gaining invaluable qualifications along the way.”
Kellogg’s is encouraging applicants to think outside the box when applying for the roles, suggesting candidates choose a format of application that suits them. Suggestions include an interactive digital CV, a video or a traditional CV and cover letter. Applicants must meet the following criteria: Grade C in Maths, English and one other subject at GCSE and 3 A-Levels (or equivalent) at grade C or above. All applications must be submitted by the 31st July 2020.   If you would like to find out more about this apprenticeship alongside all of our other opportunities, then contact Apprenticeships at Salford City College on 0161 631 5555 or email apprenticeships@salfordcc.ac.uk.
