Addressing the Demand for Green Skills
E.ON’s recent research reveals that more than half (52%) of individuals want to work for organisations committed to creating a greener future. Additionally, 49% are keen to acquire the skills necessary for thriving in a sustainable world. E.ON’s degree apprenticeship programmes address these aspirations by equipping apprentices with the practical knowledge and expertise required to meet the challenges of tomorrow’s energy sector.

Our apprentices not only develop the skills to succeed in a more sustainable and greener future, but they also build valuable professional networks and earn a university degree, fully funded by E.ON.
“These programmes are designed to empower people with practical skills that businesses need now and in the years ahead, enabling them to build meaningful careers aligned with their goals. I strongly encourage anyone interested to explore these fantastic opportunities.”
