<p>Great Western Railway’s (GWR) Franchise Agreement includes targets to ensure opportunities
for apprentices. Despite the pandemic, GWR recruited thirty apprentices in September
2020 which is a significant increase from the nineteen taken on in 2019. GWR plans
to recruit the same number of apprentices again in 2021, with six of the thirty apprenticeships
available in the engineering profession. Currently, GWR’s intention is that two apprentices
will be placed in St Philip’s Marsh depot.</p>
