In August 25 second year apprentices from Siemens AG Energy Sector Mülheim an der Ruhr completed a three week Erasmus+ work placement project. The group worked at trade in engineering companies in Darlington, Newton Aycliffe and the Tees Valley. This was their 21st annual visit to Darlington and forms part of the long standing partnership with S.W. Durham Training Ltd. During their stay they visited the Darlington Town Hall and met the Deputy Mayor, Cllr Tom Nutt, and had short trips to Whitby,Durham, Saltburn, York and Newcastle. At the end of their stay the apprentices delivered a presentation to senior Siemens Managers, tutors from Berufskolleg Stadtmitte Mülheim and host company representatives at the Blackwell Grange Hotel.
