The Go-Ahead Group has announced that it will double the number of apprentices in its ranks over the course of 2019, as Go-Ahead London opens a new recruitment and training academy in South London.
Almost 500 apprentices are currently training with Go-Ahead’s bus and rail companies, with a target to train 1,000 recruits by the end of the year.
Go-Ahead London’s new academy in Camberwell will be used by the company to deliver on-site training for the next generation of bus drivers in the city. It is also the first time Go-Ahead London will be training bus drivers under its apprenticeship programme.
