Sustainability Degree

You will complete a two-week induction and three to four weeks of work experience as a Customer Service Assistant at a station. This will give you invaluable front-line experience and understanding of the customer facing element of working for a transport organisation.

Your apprenticeship programme will then incorporate working in two to three different TfL placements each year. Placements will be chosen with you to complement your studies. The placements will allow you to gain the skills, experience and behaviours required to complete the Apprenticeship and for your future career.

Placements will be available across three categories: i) within the TfL Sustainability and Corporate Environment team, ii) in other teams where sustainability and environment is a direct part of the role and iii) other teams within TfL where the placement will be approached through the lens of environment and sustainability.
