Year: 2025

A recent awards ceremony at Tydfil Training marked a proud moment as we celebrated the success of two learners from the Jobs Growth Wales+ programme.

Jay Caviel received the Learner of the Year award in recognition of his outstanding commitment and dedication. Throughout his time on the programme, Jay has shown a strong work ethic, a positive attitude, and a clear determination to succeed. His progress has been impressive, and this award reflects the effort he has put into developing both his skills and confidence.

Kayla Clark was also recognised at the event, receiving her certificates after completing the Beauty course. Kayla has worked hard to develop her knowledge and practical skills in beauty therapy, and her qualification is a well-earned reward for the time and effort she has invested in her training. She has shown great promise and is now well-equipped to take the next step in her career.

The ceremony was an opportunity for staff and learners to come together and acknowledge the progress being made by those on the programme. It was a reminder of what can be achieved through consistent effort, the right support, and a clear focus on future goals.

Congratulations to both Jay and Kayla on their achievements. We look forward to seeing what they go on to do next.

We’re incredibly proud to celebrate Lilly Phillips, who has been recognised for her outstanding achievements in Engineering Manufacture – Level 3 while completing her apprenticeship with Tenneco. 🎉

Lilly has truly embodied excellence in engineering, showcasing remarkable technical skills, a strong work ethic, and a deep commitment to personal growth. From the start, she quickly mastered complex concepts and applied them in real-world situations with confidence and precision.

What makes Lilly’s achievement even more inspiring is her leadership. Despite still being an apprentice herself, she has mentored and supported her colleagues, proving to be a natural leader within her team. Her innovative thinking has also led to improvements in productivity and safety on the shop floor—making a real difference to both her colleagues and her company.

Reflecting on her journey, Lilly shared:
💬 “I’ve had so many opportunities that I didn’t even know would be available to me. I’ve been able to inspire young people and I’ve been recognised for this award – I’m very proud of myself and I’m very grateful to everyone who has got me to this position.”

Her dedication and passion have not gone unnoticed, and it’s no surprise that she has excelled in her professional development, leaving a lasting impact on those around her.

👏 Congratulations, Lilly! Your hard work and leadership are truly inspiring, and we can’t wait to see where your future in engineering takes you! 🚀
