This project, called “Developing People for the Future”, will provide skills and training opportunities for people who want to join our council through an apprenticeship pathway. This is a fantastic opportunity for individuals who want to work for the Council contribute to our aim which is ‘to help the people of Neath Port Talbot live good lives’.
