Be a part of the future Story

As a Graduate Apprentice at Story Contracting you will earn and learn while working towards your future. By the end of your 5-year part-time study you will receive a full degree in your chosen subject, gain experience from your role and have the opportunity for further development and progression within #TeamStory.

Over the 5 years you will have important roles within your teams’ live projects, meaning you’ll build real life experience and have the opportunity to make a real difference on exciting projects throughout the course of your programme.

You will attend university one day a week to attain your degree, and we work with a select number of excellent education providers to ensure courses align with the work we do and provide you with valuable knowledge to supplement your on-the-job learning.
