MEETING THE NEEDS OF THE WIND ENERGY INDUSTRY
The Grimsby Institute’s Engineering and Renewables Centre is ideally situated in the heart of Grimsby and in an excellent position to be a part of the UK’s Energy Estuary.
The Institute employs a team of industrially experienced tutors who are continually updating their skills to understand the needs of the ever-changing engineering sector. As part of their commitment to learners and in order to meet the needs of the wind industry they have spent a vast amount of time consulting with a number of key employers within the wind energy sector to assess their training and development needs.
WORKING TOGETHER
The Institute works closely with the renewable energy industry, including developing offshore wind turbine operations and maintenance employers. Dong Energy, the world leader in offshore wind power have invested heavily in the Humber region and have been incredibly supportive in sharing their training needs and the types of professionals they are looking to recruit. As a result of the information from Dong Energy and the work carried out with other employers, it has allowed them to identify the skills gaps in the industry ensuring they are providing the industry with learners who are fully equipped and work ready for careers in the wind sector.
INDUSTRY SPECIFIC LINKS AND INVESTMENT
The Grimsby Institute sits on the board of the Grimsby Renewable Partnership and are members of Renewable UK, which enables them to be at the forefront of any training requirements. The Engineering
THE INSTITUTE IS WELL
POSITIONED AT THE HEART OF THE ENERGY ESTUARY TO PROVIDE THE VERY BEST IN TRAINING...
QUALIFICATIONS
Neil Bainbridge, Grimsby Institute Associate Principal, Advanced Technologies commented:
“The Institute is well positioned at the heart of the energy estuary to provide the very best in training for the renewable sector. We are looking forward to an exciting future working with employers and have invested over ¼ million pounds in state-of-the-art equipment and facilities in order to ensure the very best of service to industry.”
To enable existing engineers to upskill and meet the needs of the industry we are continually developing a range of appropriate qualifications for the wind industry such as operations maintenance on wind turbines, rope access training and relevant safety certificates.
APPRENTICESHIPS
Apprenticeships are an effective way for engineering companies to expand
and Renewables Centre has seen much investment and offers some of the most up-to-date training equipment and industry standard workshops in the UK with learners able to access a fully operational wind turbine demonstrator, solar thermal systems, photovoltaic equipment, ground and air source heat pumps, bio-mass boilers and a fully operational rainwater harvesting system.
