What's on offer?
Apprenticeships are a great way for us to turn today’s talented young people like you into the experts we need tomorrow. Whether you’re interested in Engineering, Business Administration or Finance, we have opportunities here and now for you. We have more than 500 apprentices at Siemens in total and, with over 15,000 people working in the UK, you’ll play an important part in everyday life here. It’s why nearly all of our apprentices go on to secure permanent roles once they finish. As an apprentice, your role will be as diverse as the things we make. In the UK alone, we manufacture products such as industrial gas turbines, traffic lights and train radios, help produce cleaner energy through wind turbines and keep rail networks running smoothly with more efficient trains.Which Apprenticeship route is right for you

Every day at Siemens is different. As part of my apprenticeship I complete rotational placements throughout the business, this allows me to experience each department and what they do. Each department provides me with different activities to complete. It’s great because every day I have a task to do that allows me to use the knowledge that I have learnt in the classroom.Aamir Adam, Electrical & Electronic Engineering Apprentice, Manchester

A games-based assessment is a method of assessing a candidates behaviours and traits, as well as ability, in a more fun and engaging way. They directly gather observable evidence of behaviours and traits that have previously been impossible to measure (in traditional numerical and verbal reasoning testing) - and most importantly, you have more fun doing them!
There isn't any way you can particuarly prepare for the assessment, but just make sure you're in a suitable environment where you won't be interrupted!
A strengths based interview is a way of interviewing that focuses on what you interests you as a person, which is then assessed against the core strengths that have been identified in the Siemens Entry Level Talent (ELT) top performers. This allows us to focus more on your potential and what energises you, rather than your past experiences.
To help you prepare, it might be useful to think of what tasks/activities you've particularly enjoyed, and think overall about what you enjoy/what interests & energises you and what you like/dislike etc.
