The 12 manufacturing<\/a> and technical apprentices, who are employed by the college, are being sponsored by British Steel and it is hoped they will join the steelmaker when they have completed their training.<\/p>\n The apprentices\u2019 training takes place at the college\u2019s STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) Centre and British Steel\u2019s Teesside Beam Mill.<\/p>\n They are learning how to operate a comprehensive range of mill equipment associated with the rolling and finishing of steel sections<\/a> used in the construction<\/a> industry. This includes techniques to ensure that products are rolled within specification ready for release to customers.<\/p>\n British Steel\u2019s Managing Director for Construction Richard Farnsworth said: \u201cWe\u2019re delighted to welcome 12 new people to British Steel. This is a fantastic opportunity for them and they are promised the very best training from ourselves and the college.<\/p>\n \u201cThe steel industry is in Teesside\u2019s blood and this move not only demonstrates our commitment to apprenticeships and training, but to the region as a whole.<\/p>\n \u201cWe employ more than 430 people at our Teesside Beam Mill and the neighbouring Service Centre at Lackenby, and they are building a bright future for themselves, our business and our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n The new starters have been enrolled on Middlesbrough College\u2019s apprentice programme and they will receive six weeks of intensive training at the college before training and working at British Steel.<\/p>\n Middlesbrough College\u2019s STEM Director Ian Smith said: \u201cWe are delighted to be working in partnership with British Steel to deliver an innovative apprenticeship programme that ensures manufacturing skills are developed in young people.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Stem Centre has been specifically designed to provide industrial standard training as part of the solution to industry skills gaps and we are thrilled to support British Steel\u2019s ambitions during an exciting stage of their development.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The latest generation of Teesside steelworkers have started their careers in a partnership between British Steel and Middlesbrough College.
