The leading engineering training provider in the Yorkshire and Humber region
HETA Governance
HETA has been supporting engineering and industry since 1967. As a not-for-profit training organisation, strong governance is central to ensuring we remain focused on our purpose, accountable for our performance and responsive to the needs of learners, employers and the communities we serve.
Our governance arrangements provide independent oversight and challenge, helping HETA make informed decisions, manage risk effectively and continue to deliver high-quality technical training across the region.
Our Board
HETA is governed by a Board of Trustees who bring a broad range of experience, knowledge and expertise from industry, education and business.
The Board provides strategic oversight of the organisation, working with HETA's senior leadership team to ensure that we:
- Deliver against our charitable purpose and strategic objectives
- Maintain high standards of education and training
- Respond to the skills needs of employers and the wider economy
- Safeguard the interests and wellbeing of our learners
- Maintain strong financial oversight and organisational sustainability
- Identify and manage strategic risks
- Operate with integrity, transparency and accountability
Our industry links have always been fundamental to HETA. This ensures employer needs and the changing demands of engineering, manufacturing and associated industries remain central to our strategic direction.
By Employers, For Employers
HETA was established by industry, for industry, and that principle continues to shape how we operate today.
Our governance structure helps ensure that HETA remains connected to employers and responsive to emerging skills requirements. This industry insight supports decisions around our curriculum, facilities, investment and future training provision.
It means our strategic decisions aren't made in isolation – they are informed by the industries, employers and communities we exist to support.
Accountability and Transparency
We are committed to maintaining high standards of governance and being transparent about how HETA is managed.
Our Board regularly reviews organisational performance, quality, finance, risk and strategic priorities, providing both support and constructive challenge to the senior leadership team.
HETA continually reviews its governance arrangements to ensure they remain effective, appropriate and aligned with our responsibilities as a charity and training provider.
