A new batch of apprentices has joined the ranks at West Lothian Council.
This year's intake of 17 newcomers will be spread across the council's Housing and Building Services, Neighbourhood Environmental teams and Land Services, and Operational Services.
The budding new trades people consist of: two horticulture apprentices, four roads apprentices, three electricians, three joiners, one bricklayer, two painters and two roofers. The new batch will take the total number of apprentices working for the council to 82.
Frank Anderson, Executive Councillor for Services for the Community, added: "West Lothian Council has a strong tradition of providing career opportunities to local people, through the apprenticeship programme.
"An investment in our apprentices, is an investment for the future. We will always need skilled trades people and we're delighted to have the next generation on board.
"Our skilled trades people will help ensure that the new apprentices develop strong, practical on the job training combined with theory practice."
