Van Driver

Logistics done differently.

Do you want to become an HGV Driver but don’t have the funds to train? Have you heard about the driver training throughout the XPO Training Academy? We at XPO, have developed an internal program to take novice car drivers, through to full-fledged, Cat CE HGV drivers within 6-9 months.

And once you have completed the training you will potentially walk straight into a job working for us! Not only this, but we have on site trainers who will take you from being a newly qualified driver with no experience, to a highly trained, professional driver.

Pay, Benefits And More

We are offering employment from day one of your training program and in approximately 6-9 months’ time, we will support you to enter a new profession (dependant on the speed at which you train). You will become a Class 1 driver on our PAM contract, based at our Ilkeston site. The site operates a Monday to Friday, day shift pattern with nights away, transporting building products across the UK. Initially we are offering a training rate of £26,436.80 per year, rising significantly upon acquiring your CE licence.

What You’ll Do During Your Training

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
