At Mondelez International, we’ve created an Engineering/Manufacturing Degree Apprenticeship that allows you to study for a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering while gaining valuable hands-on experience with a leading global snacking company.

As one of the world’s largest snack manufacturers, we are home to iconic brands like Cadbury Dairy Milk, Toblerone, and Oreo, with a presence in over 150 countries.

This program is perfect for aspiring Process/Plant Engineers who want to combine the best of both worlds: earning a salary while studying for a degree and learning how a global business operates.

Over four years, you’ll complete four rotations, each providing insight into different aspects of our operations. From designing and problem-solving to mastering processes like wrapping 600 chocolate bars a minute or supplying consistent hot water to our cooking lines, you’ll develop the knowledge and expertise to excel in a fast-moving, exciting environment.
