Swansea Council are doing their bit to help the construction industry by helping tradespeople find work.
Swansea Council’s Corporate Building and Property Services Team are looking for 12 apprentices to take part in this year’s scheme. They are believed to be looking for locally-based electricians to fill some of the roles.
The work will involve maintenance jobs and fixing facilities at tourist attractions in the city and working on new homes and buildings in Swansea.
Swansea Council’s apprenticeship scheme is one of a number of initiatives by the council to ensure that local contractors are hired for local projects.
The council is pioneering an initiative called “Beyond Bricks and Mortar” and are spending £90 million a year to persuade local companies who have been awarded local contracts to employ local people. Such schemes include upgrading homes in Clydach to the renovation of Oystermouth Castle.
