Following the successful recruitment of apprentices during 2019, Shotton-based Tata Steel is once again starting its annual search for bright, talented and passionate young people to join its prestigious apprenticeship scheme ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The apprenticeship scheme offers opportunities in Engineering, Process Operations and the Laboratory.   ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The company is seeking out new recruits as part of its strategy to deliver a sustainable future for the steel industry in the UK. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Apprentices at Tata Steel get on-the-job training equipping them with the skills to make a real impact at one of the UK’s largest manufacturers. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Les Dickinson, Apprentice and People Development Manager, said: “At Tata Steel we understand the importance of investing in programmes which allow us to recruit and train the best people for the future success of the business. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“Apprentices are an important part of ensuring we have the essential skills within the organisation which we need for the future.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The Apprenticeship Programme lasts for three and a half years, to be eligible individuals must have achieved, or be expecting to achieve, at least five GCSEs at grade C / 4 or above including English, maths and a science subject ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Les added: “We are looking for individuals who have innovative minds and skills which go beyond just pure academic ability – people who can really help to make a difference to this business.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

To help in the search two open days have been planned to give prospective apprentices the chance to see what a career in industry is all about. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

On Saturday 15 February and Saturday 29 February Tata Steel in Shotton is holding its apprentice open days. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
