Celebrating our Apprentices

 

Our award-winning apprenticeship programme has been running for over 10 years. In that time, we are proud to have supported apprentices to grow, progress and achieve. Here's some of our success stories.

Our apprentices don't stop learning and developing after their apprenticeship, take a look at Tom's roadmap showing his progression from apprentice to graduate officer.

Tomorrow's Talent

Katie

Higher Apprentice Katie is playing a key role in helping Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council to meet challenging decarbonisation and climate change targets. Katie's contribution was recently recognised at the prestigious Apprenticeship Awards Cymru 2024 as she was a finalist in the Tomorrow’s Talent category.

As a carbon reduction officer, Katie, 27, from Clydach Vale, is involved in developing large scale renewable energy projects, including a six megawatt solar farm and hydroelectric schemes, as well as a range of other work to reduce the council’s carbon footprint. Passionate about carbon reduction and renewable energy, she shares best practice with other councils and works with stakeholders including the Carbon Trust, the Welsh Government Energy Service, landowners and engineers. “I have always been interested in renewable energy and carbon reduction, which are very topical with the Welsh Government pushing for Wales to be net zero public sector by 2030,” said Katie.

Keep up the amazing work you are doing Katie!
