Bentley welcomes early careers cohort for 2025

Bentley has welcomed its 2025 early careers cohort, consisting of apprentices, graduates and industrial placements.

It has also announced 65 trainee vacancies in areas such as digital software, electrical engineering and artificial intelligence (AI).

41 of the roles are one-year industrial placement roles which are open now, while 24 are three or four-year apprentice roles, which are available from February 2026.

Roles cover all functions of the business, although half of the apprentice opportunities focus on rapidly developing areas, such as software and AI.

Other areas include design, development, manufacturing and marketing.

Bentley said that new talent is key to the delivery of its ambitious electrification strategy.

10 of the industrial placements from the 2024-25 cohort will return as graduates in 2026.

Dr Karen Lange, member of the board for people and culture at Bentley Motors, said: “Our early careers programme is key to moulding the future of our company and it is vital that we recruit the necessary developing skills that will push the business forward in such a transformative industry.
