APPRENTICES have been recognised for their work for a council.

Alice Duffield, Jack Binnington, Adam Wood and Bethany Green have all secured jobs at Colchester Council after completing apprenticeships.

They have now been handed the 2019 Career Track Assessor Award which recognises outstanding commitment to personal career development.

Each apprentice was assessed by Career Track

Colchester Council leader Mark Cory said: “Apprenticeships play a vital role in giving young people from all backgrounds an opportunity to learn and develop the valuable workplace skills they need in today’s highly competitive employment market.

“Congratulations to all four winners, who are inspirational ambassadors for our apprenticeship scheme and whose hard work and outstanding commitment has marked them out for this special award.”

David King, resources boss, added: “Each of our winners have worked incredibly hard for this award and are an enormous credit both to themselves and the customers they serve so well.”
