Preparation:

We offer a variety of apprenticeships across many of our sites in the US. The Apprentice Program offers you the chance to study fully funded towards nationally recognized qualifications while gaining valuable, paid work experience. We look for apprentices to join us who ideally live within a 60-minute commute of their chosen site. The types of apprenticeships we offer is dependent upon business needs, and the availability of roles will vary by GSK work site.

As an Apprentice, you will study part time towards an Associate's degree (AAS) aligned to your program at one of GSK's partnering community colleges fully funded by GSK, with the potential to go on to further study.

Upon completion of the program, you will also receive a Certificate of Apprenticeship Completion from the US Department of Labor, an industry issued, portable nationally recognized credential that certifies occupational proficiency

Working with both your line and program manager we want to identify the right opportunities to help you succeed in the short term and throughout your career with us. You will also be assigned a buddy or a mentor who will be there to offer support and guidance throughout your apprenticeship.

Interests:

The scope and breadth of our business is reflected in the range of apprenticeship opportunities we offer to talented and ambitious individuals. Our apprenticeships will give you hands-on experience in your chosen discipline, and the chance to play a key role in contributing to the future success of GSK, a world-leading pharmaceutical company.

The program will offer you on-the-job learning from industry leaders while earning a competitive compensation package, college enrollment in an Associate's Degree program paid for by GSK, and the opportunity to receive a Certificate of Apprenticeship Completion from the US Department of Labor. In 2018, the US Department of Labor engaged GSK to join its Excellence in Apprenticeship Development, Education and Research (LEADER) Program.

If you are a hardworking individual looking to develop the skills and experience required for your chosen career, GSK's academic apprenticeships may be right for you. As you may expect, there are minimum entry requirements to be eligible, and these vary by program.
