How Apprentices Have Benefitted Smulders
Smulders Projects UK is part of International Steel Construction Company Smulders Group. It has a large facility in the North East. We spoke to Stijn Sterck, General Production Manager, about how their business has benefitted from hiring apprentices through Newcastle College.
Stijn said: "We believe that apprenticeships are a great way to grow skills within a business. By employing young talent, we can retain the skills needed for the future.
"The Business Development team is always ready to help and provide support where needed. We’re looking forward to expanding our apprenticeship offer with the college."
