341 applications for 20 Carmarthenshire council scheme
Cllr Philip Hughes, cabinet member for organisation and workforce, said: "The tremendous interest we have received for our apprenticeship scheme shows the appetite here in Carmarthenshire for young people to embark on a career with an organisation that delivers frontline services.
"These posts also show the council's commitment to fostering a bilingual environment where the Welsh language is not only preserved but celebrated and I look forward to seeing the successful candidates flourish in their roles."
The apprenticeships span a variety of departments including human resources, finance, libraries, translation, and business support.
All positions require either conversational Welsh or a willingness to learn during the programme, with targeted language support provided.
The scheme offers on-the-job training, mentorship, and career development, aiming to prepare apprentices with the essential skills and experience to contribute effectively to the council and the wider community.
It also supports the council's corporate strategy, which focuses on developing a thriving, inclusive, and prosperous Carmarthenshire.
