This is a great time to consider an Apprenticeship with CLAAS UK, with the need for skilled people within the agricultural industry rising as technology continues to advance.
Our forward thinking dealers recognise the need to provide practical experience to a new workforce, alongside a structured learning programme and our CLAAS Apprenticeship Scheme provides the perfect platform to do this. As an Apprentice you will gain valuable work experience whilst being paid, a guaranteed job and a recognised national qualification, which will hold you in great shape for the next step of your career journey.
