Business Bulletin Issue Three I June 2023
Welcome to Engage There’s lots to shout about in this edition of Engage, as we host our first sustainability week across our three Colleges. Sustainability is high on our agenda at the Heart of Yorkshire Education Group and that is why we are evolving our curriculum in line with the development of green skills for green jobs. We are launching a brand-new range of green skills construction courses and a programme in Heat Recovery and Transfer in September, adding to our existing sustainable curriculum offer which covers courses in Electric and Hybrid Vehicles and Carbon Capture and Storage. We want to ensure that our employer partners have the training and knowledge to seize this new wave of skills and these courses are designed to do exactly that.
thank you to The Mid Yorkshire NHS Hospitals Trust, Drax, Tip Group Trailers, Street Scene and West Bretton Primary School, who took part and accommodated the filming at their sites. We’re looking forward to sharing the final pieces soon – so stay tuned to our social media channels!
Our employer partners have also been supporting us in delivering our T Level offering and it’s been fantastic to see our students gaining invaluable experience in the workplace. We’ve also opened the doors of our brand-new T Level IT lab at our Selby College, which has already been given the seal of approval by our students and pupils from Barlby High School, who took part in a network taster session in the lab.
I hope you enjoy reading this newsletter and finding out how we can support your business in meeting its skills needs, today and for the future.
