The CEGB Midlands Region served as a significant training hub for craft apprentices and student trainees during the 1960s, providing career opportunities within the electricity generation sector. With training centres established across the Midlands, it focused on educating individuals about electricity generation, transmission, and operational prospects for engineers. Locations such as the Drakelow Plant and various divisions in cities like Nottingham, Leicester, and Birmingham facilitated apprenticeship programs that shaped future professionals in the field.
