BP offer Level 4 and Level 6 apprenticeships programmes across the following areas:

• Software development
• HR
• Trading and shipping

The HR degree apprenticeship is a four-year programme where you will study towards a Business Management degree. The  programme is based at BPs International Centre for Business and Technology (ICBT) in Sunbury-on-Thames.

On this four-year programme, you’ll split your time between a number of exciting roles. Each role will give you a comprehensive introduction to BP, the businesses and the People & Culture function. In these rotational roles, you’ll gain knowledge of the sub-disciplines within HR, and develop the technical, business and behavioural skills you’ll need to become a well-rounded HR professional.

Your first 12 months: building skills: Your first year will be spent in HR services to give you a fundamental appreciation of how HR operates, developing your understanding of HR policy, advice, systems, process and employee experience.

The next 36 months: broadening your development: Your first year is followed by two rotations in a People & Culture specialist or partnering role, depending on your development needs, your study plan and available opportunities at the time.

Aligning with our graduate programme: You will be developed alongside the People & Culture graduates and will be part of that broader early career community. If you meet the programme requirements and successfully complete your Business Management degree, you’ll formally graduate from the programme after four years.

The Software development Apprenticeship is a level 4 programme. As part of the team, you’ll provide innovative, custom built software for bP colleagues and external users.

Developing, improving and crafting new products and services, you’ll focus on at-scale enterprise software development products using Java, C#.Net or Node js. You’ll also be involved in rapid application development on low-code platforms such as Salesforce, Service Now and Microsoft PowerApps. In addition, you’ll look at responsive mobile/web development using React Native, Xamarin and similar frameworks.

Requirements:

• 2 x A Levels in STEM subjects at grade C or above and have a passion for software development/coding.
• They will also consider other relevant level 3 qualifications e.g. apprenticeships or the international baccalaureate.
