A growing apprenticeship scheme is helping to shape a new generation of talent.
Pembrokeshire County Council has welcomed 10 new recruits to its Building Maintenance team through an expanded apprenticeship programme focused on Construction Management and Mechanical and Electrical Engineering.
Rhys Jones, building maintenance operations manager, said: "After a highly successful recruitment process, we were delighted to appoint 10 exceptional candidates.
"They’ve embraced the opportunity wholeheartedly and are now integrating into our working culture while beginning their degree apprenticeship programmes."
The council said the scheme aims to give hands-on experience and professional qualifications.
All four apprentices from 2023 are now employed by the council.
Councillor Michelle Bateman, cabinet member for housing, said: "The Building Maintenance apprenticeship programme reflects the council’s ongoing commitment to workforce development, service excellence, and creating meaningful career pathways for young people in Pembrokeshire."
The apprentices will work alongside experienced staff while studying towards industry-recognised qualifications.
Mr Jones said: "I firmly believe in the power of opportunity.
"These apprentices will not only gain valuable qualifications but also develop a broad skill set across the sector, setting the foundation for a fulfilling and enduring career in the industry."
