West Cumbria's MPs joined more than 130 Sellafield apprentices in Whitehaven for their graduation ceremony.
Workington MP Sue Hayman and Copeland MP Trudy Harrison attended the official awards giving ceremony at Whitehaven Golf Club last Friday.
"They should all be extremely proud of their achievements.
"The range of schemes on offer at Sellafield, including courses up to degree level, highlights the importance Sellafield Ltd places on training the next generation of nuclear workers."
Mechanical fitter Lydia Rowell, of Frizington, collected the Rexel UK Community Award’ for her contribution to the community during her apprenticeship.
Aidan Bennett, Kieran Messenger and Mark Quinn won first, second and third respectively in the Sellafield Workbook Award.
Lydia, who was recently crowned regional apprentice of the year by the National Apprentice Service, said: “During my four-year mechanical engineering apprenticeship, I’ve had the opportunity to carry out activities such as promoting apprenticeships locally in schools, appearing on national television to highlight engineering as an exciting career and supporting our tall ship challenge.
“I am ambitious, and hope to continue my studies through an engineering degree in the near future."
