Tata Steel celebrates graduation of first-ever Tata Steel Cadets
Twenty-four young people from Teesside have become the first graduates of the Tata Steel Industrial Cadet scheme, launched in September following HRH The Prince of Wales' visit to the Teesside steelworks last year. The Prince had encouraged the company to work with young people to increase their awareness of how a business operates and inspire them to consider a career in the industry. After seeing the enthusiastic reaction of the 13- and 14-year-olds taking part in the weekly, three-hour sessions, Jon Bolton, director of Tata Steel's long products business, is determined to see the eight-week pilot extended. "This is only the start," said Mr Bolton. "It is not just about the steel industry. This is something I'd like to see rolled out across the region and across all industry sectors. There is nothing like it for youngsters. Teachers do what they can but the insight companies can offer is second to none. "It is vital that we equip young people with the right advice so they can make an informed choice about their futures. "As you would imagine not many of them had much of an idea about what goes on behind the doors of a major industrial operation. This region continues to have a strong manufacturing base and it is essential that we plan for the future." The cadets earned a place on the scheme following a formal selection process. |
