Mercury’s trainee program will prove extremely beneficial to both the individuals and the company as it offers on the job experiences alongside high-quality knowledge and education gained from undertaking the renowned CNCI® program, designed and delivered by CNet Training. The trainee program also allows Mercury to train staff to have the exact skills needed for the business and in turn, it is investing in the future of the business with qualified and certified teams to deliver consistent results, significantly reducing risk and increasing quality of service to their clients.
The Trainee Data Technicians at Mercury will undergo a 3-year training program equivalent to an apprenticeship whereby they will learn the principal roles and responsibilities of a Data Technician.

The traineeship is a fantastic opportunity to offer an entry-level role to grow the Mercury team and secure the future of our business in knowing that our teams are highly confident and competent in their duties.”
