South West Durham Training continues to see an increased demand from young people looking to embark on their apprenticeship programmes.
With exciting regional projects imminent from the likes of Hitachi, it appears many more companies are also considering just how they invest in their workforce.

The new intakes will span a number of programmes across SWDT’s core disciplines namely; Electrical & Mechanical Maintenance, Fabrication & Welding, as well as Toolmaking/ Machining.
Such programmes provide students a valuable, recognised vocational qualification whilst gaining first rate, hand’s on experience.
Monthly open evenings are currently being held allowing prospective learners and their families the opportunity to visit the new centre and learn more.
The engineering industry provides a very rewarding career for many in our region and, by talking to the trainers at SWDT, it’s possible to understand just how to embark on a new and exciting career within this field.
