Megan Ellicott, from Bridgwater, is one of the 1,500 apprentices who have so far been trained to work on the construction of the plant.
“Ever since leaving school, I knew this was the line of work that I wanted to be in,” the 22-year-old said.
“Being able to follow in the footsteps of my family who have worked on both the Hinkley A and B sites is a proud moment for me and I’ll be able to tell people that I helped build Hinkley Point C.”
More than 8,000 people have been trained in welding, electrical and mechanical skills, according to EDF.
Hinkley Point C’s managing director Stuart Crooks said he was “determined” to provide as many opportunities as possible to help people in Somerset and the wider South West.
“As a former apprentice, I know the impact that training can have in transforming lives for the better,” he added.
