A GROUP of engineering apprentices have been using their newly acquired skills for the good of the local community. Apprentices at Gen2, Cumbria’s leading apprentice training organisation, have created a range of recycling sculptures to encourage people to recycle plastics they collect on the beach. The challenge was set by MP for Workington, Mark Jenkinson and involved the design, prototyping and manufacturing of a range of large metal sculptures which will be placed on the local beaches to try and reduce plastic waste and encourage people to recycle. More than 30 apprentices helped develop the sculptures at Gen2 centres based in Workington and Ulverston.
