Career Progression
Let’s hear from someone who has completed the Nestlé Confectionery Degree Apprenticeship. 
“Nestle has provided me with an exciting career which I had no idea even existed and I absolutely love it! Through the apprenticeship, I not only got a degree, but I also gained invaluable on-the-job experience which has enhanced my knowledge and given me so many incredible opportunities. From the very beginning I was involved in significant projects and within a short space of time was managing them by myself. I have gained so much confidence knowing my voice is being heard and my input recognised, and I’m very grateful I decided to take this pathway to kickstart my career.” 
Katie Lloyd, Nestlé Confectionery
