Tom Banham, Head of Nestlé Academy Talent Acquisition, said: 'It’s great to be able to offer these new ground-breaking roles and give students the opportunity to learn and avoid the burden of student debt. I’m really looking forward to working with the successful applicants and helping them to build a fantastic future and career for life.'

Applications are being taken for enrolment in November 2015 but you need to have finished school less than three years ago with at least three A levels and five GCSEs (A*-C). Nestlé also say there is no age restriction and it supports adult apprentices.
Successful applicants will be paid a starting salary of £16,000 a year with a rewards scheme.
