Automotive giant Nissan is recruiting its highest number of apprentices and has hosted a Government Minister to mark the start of Apprenticeship Week.
The factory has 140 positions available in areas including manufacturing, maintenance, business administration and engineering, making it the largest intake in the plant’s 39-year history.
Since the opening of the plant in 1986, Nissan has employed more than 2,200 apprentices, with many going on to senior positions. The company’s commitment to apprenticeships and training has been praised by Minister for Skills, Apprenticeships and Higher Education Robert Halfon, who visited the plant yesterday.
