Sion, 18, has been recruited by Rehau in Blaenau Ffestiniog as an electrical engineering apprentice following his two-year course at the Hafan campus in Pwllheli. As part of his course, he also completed the City and Guilds Performing Engineering Operations as well as 150 hours of work experience.

Alongside his work with Rehau, Sion will continue his studies with Grŵp Llandrillo Menai. From September, he will be following a Level 3 BTEC in Electrical Engineering at Coleg Menai’s Llangefni campus to further enhance his skill set.

With GCSE results out this week, many people will be considering options for their next step. Sion said his experience at Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor has given him an ideal foundation for an exciting career in engineering.

“The BTEC Level 3 Enhance course has prepared me well for a bright future in the world of engineering,” said Sion, from Chwilog, who received five offers of employment as he neared the end of his course.

“I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to work for Rehau as an electrical apprentice. I’ve learned many things from being here so far and will continue to do so in the future.
