Hinkley Point C power station has opened three new training centres in Somerset in a bid to attract more local people to work on the project.
Some 4,000 workers are needed for the next phase of construction, according to the EDF-owned nuclear plant.
A total of £8m has been invested in the new facilities in partnership with Bridgwater and Taunton College. The so-called ‘Centres of Excellence’ include a welding centre on the college’s Bridgewater campus that will train 500 welders a year.
