Engineering Apprentices Complete First Year at HETA's New £5.5m Training Centre
Humberside Engineering Training Association (HETA) proudly announced that the latest cohort of Grimsby based engineering apprentices has successfully completed their first year of training. This milestone is particularly significant as it is the first group to do so in HETA's new £5.5 million purpose-built training centre.
This new state-of-the-art facility was constructed to continue HETA’s legacy of providing exceptional technical training since 1967. With an increased demand for skilled engineers in the region, HETA has responded by enhancing its training capabilities, ensuring that the local workforce is equipped to meet industry needs.
Iain Elliott, CEO of HETA, expressed his pride in the new training centre and the accomplishments of the inaugural cohort. "Seeing our new training centre in action and witnessing the success of our latest cohort is incredibly rewarding. This facility stands as a testament to our commitment to providing training for the future, embodying our mantra: 'By Employers for Employers.'"
Centre Manager Alex Billingham also shared his enthusiasm for the apprentices' achievements. "I am immensely proud of all our learners. They have shown tremendous dedication and have gained valuable knowledge, skills, and behaviours in their first year. I am confident they will continue to flourish as they transition into their respective companies."
Looking ahead, Iain highlighted the centre's commitment to evolving with industry needs. "The centre will continue to grow and adapt to meet employer demand, evidenced by the addition of a dedicated Electrical Installation section, which will see an additional cohort of learners start in September," he said.
As the demand for engineers in the area continues to grow, HETA remains dedicated to developing the next generation of skilled professionals. The new training centre is a crucial step in ensuring that the local industry has access to top-tier talent, trained to the highest standards.
With a heritage of excellence in technical training dating back to 1967, HETA’s new facility is poised to shape the future of engineering education and support the region’s economic development.
