A giant mine project in North Yorkshire is looking to recruit 10 apprentices
Anglo American, the owner of the Woodsmith Project on the coast, has announced the launch of its 2021 apprenticeship programme during this year's National Apprenticeship week.
The company wants to take on 10 engineering apprentices to add to the 14 already on its team, part of a pledge to hire 50 apprentices in the coming years for its state-of-the-art mine and transport infrastructure currently under construction near Whitby and on Teesside.
The four-year apprenticeship to train Advanced Engineering Technicians will be run in partnership with TTE, part of Middlesbrough College.
It will focus on developing a sound knowledge of the electrical, mechanical and instrumentation engineering skills needed to maintain the mining equipment and infrastructure when the mine enters production later in the decade.
