I know KLM UK at Norwich and ATC Lasham Southend have apprenticeship schemes, however these do not end up with the graduates obtaining B1 or B2 level examination certs (HNC and "A" exams seem to be the norm, not particulary useful to these companies bar line station work for the latter, but what do I know!). They will however get you the basic engineering skills and logbook tasks to pursue the B tickets as a mechanic (and you would be employable, especially when things start picking up as they will do in time).
