The Reed Apprenticeship Experience

Laura Poleykett was made redundant after 7 years of service at Thomas Cook in September 2019, as the business went in to liquidation.

Laura then registered her details with her local Reed office to help her find new employment, only then to be offered a role at Reed itself…

“After various conversations with Reed about what type of role would suit me best and what sort of company I would like to work at, my recruitment consultant suggested the option of joining the Reed Apprenticeship Scheme. Immediately I knew it was something I wanted to try my hand at.”

“We’re extremely proud of our apprenticeship programme and the industry-leading training we offer our employees… For people such as Laura, it provides an alternative route into a new career path, and at the same time, a chance to gain valuable experience. Supporting the development of our workforce is key to the future success of the business and it’s always rewarding to hear how they have benefitted employees like Laura.”
