Mark Logan MP is calling on Bolton’s young inventors to apply for apprenticeships that could help transform the UK energy sector and make Bolton a greener and cleaner place to live.
The schemes are run by the National Grid which sits at the heart of Great Britain’s energy system, keeping the lights on and gas flowing so people can go about their daily lives. Their research shows that the UK energy sector needs to recruit for 400,000 skilled jobs right across the country between now and 2050 to get the UK to net zero.
They are currently looking to hire for their apprenticeship programmes which offer opportunities to foster and shape the skills needed for a green energy future through a mix of studying and hands-on experience, transforming the interest young people have in tackling climate change into a reality.
Commenting, Mark Logan MP said:
“Energy sector apprenticeships are vital to building the workforce that will help the UK tackle climate change.
Bolton’s young innovative minds are passionate about this, and these programmes provide a great opportunity to be part of the generation finding affordable and sustainable solutions for a greener and cleaner Bolton.”
The schemes can set them on the path of a meaningful career and provide the right environment for them to become, for example, the civil, mechanical and electrical engineers or data analysts of tomorrow.
The deadline for apprenticeship programmes is 27 February 2022.
