Following this year's assessment, the facility services provider climbed 36 places to secure the number 16 spot, with the rapid rise reflecting its commitment to upskilling and career development with over 1,600 apprentices across the business.
The recognition follows a number of developments within Mitie’s apprenticeship programmes, including its recently launched AI apprenticeship programme
