Prysmian has acquired a high-voltage cable jointer training facility in North Ayrshire, Scotland, adding more than 20 apprentice jointers and the academy's training staff to the company. The company said the facility will help train personnel for underground and subsea high-voltage transmission cable projects supporting electric grid infrastructure. High-voltage cable jointers perform specialized work connecting cable systems used in electricity transmission. The academy will become part of the company's existing training and installation network focused on developing future cable jointing specialists. Raul Gil, executive vice president of transmission at Prysmian, said the acquisition combines the company's cable expertise with an established training program to support upgrades to transmission infrastructure in the U.K. and Europe.
