    Early careers FAQs

    In order to secure a graduate level role at SOCOTEC, you must have qualified with a degree that is relevant to the role for which you are applying.

    To apply for a graduate role, visit the Careers section of the SOCOTEC website and type in ‘graduate’ in the keywords section to browse our latest vacancies.

    SOCOTEC offers apprenticeships across many of our business units, so regardless of your current level of education, there is bound to be a role to suit your needs. All we will require from you is a minimum of four GCSEs at Grade 4 or above (two of these must include Maths and English).

    UK legislation currently states that school leavers aged 16 must stay in full-time education until they are 18. Apprenticeships are one of the options available within this category, although unlike college or sixth form, you will receive classroom training combined with practical, on-the-job experience.
