Mira offers structured apprenticeship routes across engineering and business disciplines, based at its long-established headquarters in Cheltenham. The programme combines technical learning, professional development, and real project exposure, designed for people who want to build capability while contributing to the design, manufacture, and operation of high-quality products. Apprentices gain hands-on experience, recognised qualifications, and opportunities to develop practical, analytical, and collaborative skills, all within a market-leading organisation.
Why Mira
People are drawn to Mira for its heritage, technical focus, and clear investment in early careers. The apprenticeship experience includes mentoring, a buddy system, project involvement, and planned training activity linked to qualification standards. Apprentices also have access to wider development opportunities such as STEAM events, the annual apprentice residential programme, and structured guidance from internal specialists. The organisation is known for building capability from within, supporting apprentices to progress into established, long-term roles.
The Roles
Apprentices typically join engineering or business pathways, covering areas such as data analysis, project work, manufacturing, product development, customer operations, marketing, and supply chain. Programmes blend on-site experience with scheduled study blocks delivered through partner providers. Rotations, workplace projects, and exposure to multiple teams help apprentices build a broad technical and commercial understanding, while working toward their chosen qualification.

Apprentices form part of close-knit teams, with access to mentors and structured feedback to help them adjust to workplace expectations. Collaboration, respect, and shared responsibility feature strongly, and apprentices are encouraged to take part in wider initiatives, engage with colleagues, and contribute to improvement activities throughout their programme.
