Early careers team gives young people a great start into work
Thinking about your first step into the world of work? You’ve got options and our Early Careers team is ready to help you explore them. Whether
you’re curious about work experience, eyeing up an apprenticeship, or diving into a T Level placement, there’s something for everyone.
At the council, everything revolves around one thing: supporting our residents. From helping families through tough times, to making sure older adults get the care they deserve, to building the roads that keep our county moving – it all matters and you could be part of it.
There are roles for people who love working directly with others, and roles for those who prefer to keep things running smoothly behind the scenes. Imagine building a future career in digital services, civil engineering, youth work, social care or finance.

Molly
LCC apprentice Molly.
Molly knew the traditional university route wasn’t for her. she wanted real experience, real skills, and a real wage. So, she jumped into an apprenticeship within the council’s business support team, where no two days look the same: helping children’s services, highways, management teams and more. “I wanted to gain practical skills early in life and earn while I learn,” she said. “An apprenticeship felt like the perfect way to build confidence and independence.
“I was amazed by how many different opportunities the council has. It’s such a respected organisation, and the training has been brilliant. The best part though has been how much I’ve grown. If you’re motivated and want real experience, an apprenticeship is a fantastic choice.”
Shay
LCC apprentice Shay.
After finishing his GCSEs at Priory City Academies, Shay took a leap into a T Level in Accounting and he hasn’t looked back. Since May 2025, he’s been working with the council’s finance team as part of his industry placement.
“A T Level was right for me because you get proper hands on experience in a workplace while earning a qualification,” Shay said.
“I spent time in accounts payable and now I’m in the adult finance team. I need 315 hours of experience, but I can choose when I work as long as I get the hours done.”
“If you want a real insight into the world of work and great qualifications, a T Level is the way to go.”
