At Harrods, our apprenticeship programmes offer more than just a job; they provide a structured, enriching path to build the skills, knowledge, and confidence you’ll carry with you throughout your career.

With an apprenticeship at Harrods, you’re not just learning on the job; you’re investing in a future full of possibilities.

We’re looking for people who bring their whole selves to work, who are excited to connect with a rich mix of customers and colleagues, and who love a bit of a challenge.
We love apprentices who take pride in what they do, from keeping the shop floor looking flawless to sharing their knowledge with confidence. You’ll need resilience for when the pace picks up, and a positive, can-do spirit that helps turn challenges into achievements.
Don’t just take our word for it, hear from our Apprentices and take your first step with Harrods
