At the college, Heysham’s new recruits will join apprentices from other EDF Energy power stations.

They will also get opportunities to develop their ‘life skills’ as part of the apprenticeship programme before completing the final two years back at Heysham power station.

As the training takes place just a few miles from the new build site at Hinkley Point C the apprentices will be able to see the UK’s newest nuclear station being constructed but will also get a chance to visit both Hinkley Point A and B, sites as part of the training programme.
