25 Siemens Professional Education second year apprentices from Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany spent three weeks in June working in local companies as part of their Leonardo 2012 Mobility Experience.
The group have all had the opportunity to practice their English in a working environment.
During their stay the group visited many places including York, Whitby and Edinburgh but the highlight of the visit was seeing the Olympic torch in Darlington and meeting the Mayor of Darlington.
