National Apprenticeship Week is the perfect moment to shine a light on the incredible early‑career talent shaping the future of Chemring.
Our team at Chemring Countermeasures UK (CCM UK) recently had the pleasure of meeting hundreds of enthusiastic students at Salisbury 6th Form College Apprenticeship Fair. They answered questions about the early careers programme at Chemring, shared real stories from our current and past apprentices, and showcased the diverse career routes available across CCM UK and the wider Chemring group.
Career fairs like this are invaluable as they give young people the chance to explore opportunities first‑hand, speak directly with those already on the apprenticeship journey, and discover pathways they may never have considered.
Hear more from four of our Chemring Group apprentices:
