What's it like to be an apprentice at Ricoh?

“The Commercial apprenticeship has offered me a great opportunity to grow as an individual and the skills provided are transferrable to any role within the organisation. Experiencing various processes within different departments has given me a broad understanding of the business and its aims. The alignment of work with college study provided a true insight and a pragmatic explanation of the theory that you learn in the classroom (something that many different routes and career paths cannot provide). The Level 3 Business Administration course has enabled me to develop skills within administrative roles, whilst the HNC has given me the opportunity to be creative and expressive within my assignments. If you want to learn and grow in an organisation that has a strong culture and consistently seeks new business opportunities, I would highly recommend the Commercial apprenticeship at Ricoh.” 

"The exceptionally friendly and helpful mentors and exposure to exciting opportunities make Ricoh’s apprenticeship second to none! During my time here, not only have I learnt an array of professional skills but also a lot about myself."

"I am currently a data science apprentice at Ricoh . During my time I have developed a wide range of skills such as programming and how data can be used for machine learning. I would recommend apprenticeships to any current students as it is a very effective way of learning and growing your career, and especially at Ricoh. It is a great place to work with amazing opportunities."

"I have been on the apprenticeship programme since 2018 and have expanded my skills and knowledge with the help of top quality mentors. I’ve had fantastic opportunities to compete in a national competition, with full support from all my colleagues. I’ve enjoyed my time at Ricoh so far and look forward to expanding my skills further."
