Tata Steel has welcomed a new wave of more than 130 apprentices across its UK operations.
Some 116 of the 137 have joined the Indian-owned steelmaker’s apprenticeship scheme in Wales - the vast majority (73) at its primary steelmaking plant in Port Talbot. The other apprentices in Wales have been assigned to Tata’s downstream operations Troste in Llanelli, Llanwern in Newport, Shotton and Caerphilly.
The apprenticeships, which also include Tata’s operations in England, cover a range of disciplines from electrical and mechanical engineering to technical, supply chain and functions.
