Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships are a great way to kickstart your career. 100% of Paragon managers in our last survey felt apprentices added high value to their business area. It’s for this reason we align our apprenticeship vacancies to business need to maximise the opportunity for you where you can really make a difference in your role.
