Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships are an amazing way to kickstart your career, gain a qualification and earn whilst you learn. We periodically have opportunities for early career talent to join Harrods on an apprenticeship and these vacancies will be shared on the careers pages under the respective department.
We have an annual intake of Retail Apprentices – see our Retail Academy page for more details – and have also offered early career apprenticeships in Restaurants & Kitchens, Butchery, IT, and Distribution.
Watch the video and meet some of our current Harrods colleagues studying on an apprenticeship.
Why an apprenticeship?
Apprenticeships allow you to earn whilst you learn and provide a structured and enriched way of building your vocational knowledge, skills and behaviours. They are nationally recognised qualifications in their own right and in some cases, can help you to achieve formal accreditation from official bodies such as CIPD, CIM, CIMA and CIPS.
What support is available?
Between your line manager, training provider and a dedicated member of our HR team, at Harrods, we will ensure that you get the time and resources you need to succeed on an apprenticeship. Whether that’s study leave for exams or offering shadowing opportunities your apprenticeship will be a launch pad to growing your career with us.
Who are apprenticeships for?
While the government funds apprenticeships for anyone over the age of 16 who is employed full time, our apprenticeship opportunities vary in age requirements. Eligibility depends on the specific programme or role, please check individual application details for more information.
