Jose Carles
3rd Year Field Engineering Apprentice, Coca-Cola European Partners
Meet Jose. He has been in the apprenticeship for two years and has just started his third.
“My apprenticeship has given me a lot of opportunities to develop my skills, through the many training sessions available. These sessions help to give apprentices an insight into different machinery they may not yet have been exposed to or worked with.
I am really enjoying the apprenticeship it and look forward to the future. My first and second years were topped off by winning apprentice of the year consecutively.”
Kodi Gledhill
4th Year Supply Chain Engineering Apprentice, Coca-Cola European Partners
Meet Kodi She joined CCEP Wakefield factory in August 2015 as an Electrical Engineering apprentice.
“Now in my final year of the apprenticeship, I work five days a week currently in the reliability engineering department. This has helped me to learn about improving the efficiency of different areas of the factory so that I gain a broad skill set and can see how each section fits into the production process as a whole – helping to bring Coca-Cola products to customers across GB!
One of the main reasons I looked for an apprenticeship in engineering is because it challenges me with something new every day.”
Roisin McCarthy
2nd Year Field Sales Apprentice, Coca-Cola European Partners
Meet Roisin. She’s one of our Sales Apprentice covering Chelsea and Knightsbridge.
“Since starting the apprenticeship, I have gained not only more knowledge about sales as a role and the potential career opportunities it offers me, but also more confidence when I am out in trade. This has allowed me to improve my results daily which keeps me motivated to achieve the best I can.
My favourite part of the job is the CCEP ethos and the people I have worked with- I feel so at home with CCEP and I’ve had the privilege of working on some really exciting projects.”
