We have been working in partnership with South East and East London, City of London Institutes of Technology to deliver our Level 3 course content and develop the Level 4 qualification in hydrogen safety.
Made possible thanks to funding from Thames Freeport’s Skills Accelerator, a collaboration between East London, London City and South East Institutes of Technology (IoT) will provide a clear pathway for Engineering students, equipping them with the knowledge they need to work with and around hydrogen.
Initially delivering Level 3 course content, those involved in the partnership will develop the Level 4 qualification to provide a more comprehensive insight to support students as they consider career opportunities in the future.
Head of Business Development for Hydrogen Safe, Dean Lee, comments: “As a result of this innovative collaboration, we are able to bring the latest qualifications to Engineering students that will be some of the first to work with and around hydrogen.
“Upskilling the future workforce needs to be a priority, and we are very pleased to join East London, London City, and South East IoTs to make this happen.
“It is through progressive thinking and partnerships like this that we will access the benefits that the green energy sector will deliver as we all transition to more sustainable ways of working.”
Jayne Sheehan Vice Group CEO and Lead for the South East Institute of Technology comments: “The collaborations between IoTs and Freeports demonstrate a commitment to the new Government’s missions of increasing economic growth, breaking down barriers to opportunity and becoming an energy superpower.
“With our close ties to employers, access to industry-standard equipment and technology, and expertise in advanced manufacturing and renewable energy, IoTs are well placed to address the skills gaps to meet net zero and develop a skilled workforce for the future.”
