UNDERWATER technology company Tritech says it is doing its bit for the next generation by “nurturing the potential” of five student apprentices at its Ulverston, Cumbria, satellite and its Westhill, Aberdeenshire, HQ.
At Westhill, a student and a graduate from Aberdeen University are on the payroll as student engineers. Gregor Will and Ben Bird are on placement until mid-September.
Tritech says the HQ students are gaining hands-on experience in quality control and design as well as an appreciation of the various subsea applications that the firm’s products are used for.
Tritech’s Ulverston site has three electronic technician apprentices, in conjunction with apprentice engineering and technology training provider GEN II. They are at various stages of their four-year placements.
