Network Rail has issued its final call for engineers across the Wales and Borders to apply for their apprenticeship scheme.
Applications close on Friday 11th May 2018.
Places are still available in Hereford, Llandrindod and Machynlleth for the three-year apprenticeship scheme.
The apprentices will play an important role in the 20,000-strong team of frontline engineers and technicians who fix and maintain Britain's rail infrastructure.
The scheme has been running since 2005, with 2,000 engineers having already completed the scheme.
The first 21 weeks of the scheme will be spent at the training centre in the Midlands, after that, the apprentices will spend time at a depot closer to home.
What did the officials say?
Bill Kelly, acting route managing director for Wales and Borders, said:
“Apprentices are the future of Network Rail, which is why we invest so much in them. And as we look ahead to our plans for 2019 and beyond, it's a really exciting time to join Network Rail in Wales and Borders.
“Transforming the railway network means more than just getting an education. Over three fascinating, career-advancing years as an apprentice, people will gain the kind of skills that can set them up for life.”
