A science park on Anglesey is creating around 50 job opportunities
M-SParc near Gaerwen is expanding its Skills Academy programme with over 40 placements available.
These are five-month paid placements with companies at Menai Science Park in a huge range of careers, from drone pilots to AI developers and sound engineers.
The aim is that they will then be ready to jump into a role in the industry, giving employers the confidence that they are hiring a skilled worker who is ’workplace ready'.
In addition to the huge skills and employment programme, M-SParc will be recruiting seven longer term positions that will be vital in ensuring the continued growth of the Science Park.
Menai Science Park Managing Director Pryderi ap Rhisiart said: “This is exactly why M-SParc was developed, to make a significant difference to the regional economy, and to be recruiting almost 50 team members to add to the fantastic community we have here is extremely exciting.
“We’ve all heard plenty in recent times about jobs being lost and relocated from the region due to various factors, so this is a fantastic boost to the area and we’re looking forward to developing the team and talent pool here at M-SParc in such an exciting and significant way.
“We’re looking to recruit seven highly skilled individuals to add to M-SParc’s core team, whilst also providing meaningful industry placements for over 40 more ambitious people from all walks of life to work with us and our tenants to develop themselves to go on and hopefully secure permanent positions at the end of their placements, having come through our tried-and-tested Skills Academy.”
