PD Ports apprentices
The UK's PD Ports has announced the introduction of a new Dock Operations apprenticeship for young people aged 18-30 years old.
The port said it will provide 13 apprentices with over 18 months of training for those wishing to pursue a career in the port industry.
"This new apprenticeship programme is about raising aspirations of the young people across the region, whilst equipping them with the knowledge and skills to master a trade," said David Robinson,
"With the reopening of the Redcar Blast Furnace in the New Year and the subsequent increase in steel handling at Teesport, it is our intention to help create employment for the apprentices at the end of the scheme."
The apprenticeship will take a group of students that have finished their foundation degree in Port Leadership and Management. The degree is a partnership between PD Ports and Teesside University and was launched in 2009.
"We're delighted to partner with a local University and offer a unique degree. Hopefully it has attracted more people to the University and it gives us great pleasure to train the next generation of port managers," said Robinson.
"This degree, along with the apprentice scheme, demonstrates our commitment to training and recruiting young people from the North East region, and further afield."
