Ten teenagers from Wiltshire have just completed a regional induction course held by Southern Electric Contracting for new apprentices at the Holiday Inn in Swindon.
Graham Elliott, area manager for SEC's Swindon office, said it was important that the company continued to train its own electricians. He explained: "We're very much a 'people' business, and if we are to continue to be successful, we need to have a skilled and committed workforce.
"In the past we have found that the best way of achieving that is to take on and train youngsters to our own high standards from the moment they join the company."
After completing the week's course, the youngsters will be introduced to a range of domestic, industrial and commercial contracts, based either at SEC's Swindon office in Faraday Road, or the company's other Wiltshire office in Spa Road, Melksham.
