Opening of Energy Skills Centre at Bridgwater College
A state-of-the-art facility for teaching sustainable energy techniques and alternative energy innovations was formally opened last week by the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, the Rt Hon Chris Huhne MP.
The Energy Skills Centre at Bridgwater College is the first of its kind in the South West and forms a key part of plans to deliver the region’s economic and skills development objectives. It represents an £8 million investment by funders EDF Energy, the National Skills Academy (Nuclear), the South West Regional Development Agency and the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority. Further industry support has been provided in the form of sponsorship from EnergySolutions and the Kier Group. Sedgemoor District Council has also supported the project through the donation of the land on which the Centre is built.
7 – 11 February is National Apprenticeship Week!
National Apprenticeship Week is nearly here and Bridgwater College has been working in partnership with nine other training providers across the county to raise the profile of apprenticeships.
The 100 Apprenticeships in One Hundred Days Challenge has already generated over 70 new placements in just 3 weeks – and is showing no signs of slowing! Employers from a wide range of businesses have been quick to embrace the benefits of employing a young person under the apprenticeship scheme, and are signing on the dotted line to pledge their commitment to improve job opportunities for young people in the region.
