Strategic Partnership with Shrewsbury Colleges Group to Extend Renewable Provision

We are very pleased to announce that we have been working with Shrewsbury Colleges Group to reinforce its commitment to renewables.

Supporting the automotive and construction industries

Establishing a strategic partnership with the colleges group, we have delivered two webinars for the Group. Focusing on ‘Hydrogen on the Horizon’, these hour-long, free to attend sessions explained why hydrogen is such a key fuel for the sustainable future and what projects are planned for the region.

Specifically targeting those training or working in the automotive and construction industries, attendees gained insight into what impact hydrogen is having on the jobs that will be available, and the skills required in the future as businesses transition to more sustainable ways of working.

CPD Sessions for College Staff

Extending the partnership, throughout January, we will deliver bespoke CPD sessions for college staff, providing them with access to a Level 2 Introduction to Hydrogen safety qualification, designed by our specialist training instructors.

Remaining at the forefront of the changes to renewables, the courses and qualifications available, this will allow the college to add value to apprenticeship programmes by implementing the latest content around hydrogen safety practices.

Business Development Manager at Shrewsbury Colleges Group, Corinne Brown, comments: “We very much see Hydrogen Safe as a strategic partner and look forward to working on new and innovative ways that we can access the latest insight into this area of renewables.

“As a progressive college, we see the value in working with those that are best positioned to offer specialist guidance, advice and support as we equip our teachers and training staff with the knowledge they need to understand how the world is changing and what roles will be available to our students in the future.”

Rachael Burns, Managing Director at Hydrogen Safe, comments: “We are very pleased to be working alongside Shrewsbury Colleges Group. In addition to providing insight into what is happening locally with hydrogen projects, we also share the courses and qualifications that we have worked so hard to develop.

“The approach we take is to ensure that we equip partners with the training they need, and in this instance, that’s ‘train the trainer’ CPD sessions. These are a great way to start the process and to set the foundations to meet with the skills gap that will become more evident as we move towards more sustainable ways of working.

“We look forward to developing this relationship further and becoming a trusted sustainability partner for them.”
