Apprenticeships are for building a future. For learners, they offer a unique chance to gain hands-on experience, earn a wage, and work towards a recognised qualification.
At Kenny Waste Management, we see apprenticeships are more than just training opportunities; they are an investment in long-term careers, helping individuals develop practical skills while making a real impact in their workplace.
But the benefits extend far beyond the individual. Businesses like ours—especially in sectors like Construction and Waste Management—depend on a skilled, knowledgeable workforce.
Apprentices bring fresh energy and a commitment to learning, helping companies stay agile and competitive. More than that, supporting apprenticeships aligns with most ESG and social responsibility goals, creating a positive ripple effect across industries and communities—generating tangible Social Value.
That’s why we’ve integrated apprenticeships into our business strategy, ensuring they remain a part of how we grow our team and contribute to our sector.
“Apprenticeships are the best of both worlds, they help you gain loads of business experience and learn about what roles are actually out there. My team and manager have been really helpful and flexible, so I’m really glad I joined Kenny Waste Management to do my apprenticeship.
I’ve learned so much and I’m proud that I’m doing lots of things I used to find intimidating. For anyone thinking about doing an apprenticeship—I’d say go and try it, whatever takes your interest, and learn everything!”
Amelia Nicholson — Business Administration Apprentice
“My apprenticeship has given me invaluable insights into employment law and the opportunity to connect with people from all backgrounds. I love that I’m learning both from my coursework and also from my experienced team, who support my development every day. Once I complete my apprenticeship, I’ll have a great qualification that allows me to practice HR—but even now, I’m already applying my experience and learning to support managers as they grow their teams to best serve our customers.
Being part of a workplace that values professional growth and collaboration makes a real difference, and it’s rewarding to see the new hires I’ve helped bring in thriving in their teams. My apprenticeship is giving me the skills and confidence to contribute to a positive workplace culture.”
Leah Kiddle — HR & Recruitment Apprentice
At Kenny Waste Management, many of our team members started as apprentices and have gone on to build successful, long-term careers with us. We continue to provide these opportunities because we’ve seen first-hand how apprenticeships change lives for the better, all while closing the skills gap for the UK recycling sector and the circular economy.
