- The Environment Agency has recruited five trainees
from a recent campaign, which was in partnership
with the Positive Action Training Highway Ltd
(PATH).
This initiative seeks to address
the under-representation and inequalities of Black
and Minority Ethnic (BME) groups in professions.
The five trainees recruited are from a variety
of BME backgrounds and will take up their posts
at the beginning of June 2006.
The traineeship will last for
three years. They will be based in Planning Liaison
at Fradley and Shrewsbury and in the Environment
Management department at Warwick and Tewkesbury.
John Betteridge, Planning and
Corporate Services manager at Fradley, who has
co-ordinated the process says " I was delighted
with both the standard of the candidates at the
interview and their sheer enthusiasm for gaining
a traineeship with us".

under the positive action remit of section 37
