REACHING NEW HEIGHTS AT SKILLS SUMMIT
Lancashire is no longer waiting to see what the future holds - it is building it, together.
That was the message at the Future Forward Business and Skills Summit, organised by Blackpool and The Fylde College for Business at the Lancashire Energy HQ in Blackpool.
Business leaders, educators and skills specialists packed the breakfast event to learn how to work smarter, train better and grow stronger through collaboration.
Linda Dean of Lancashire and South Cumbria IoT spoke about the long-term vision behind Lancashire Energy HQ and how that ambition is now paying off.
She said: “This building was opened in 2017 and we thought could we fill it or make a difference and impact.
“Today, we have a very full building delivering levels four, five and six in aerospace engineering, nuclear engineering and it is a huge contributor from an advanced manufacturer’s perspective, from a clean energy perspective and from a defence perspective.
“If you look at the work on engineering that Blackpool and The Fylde College has done, we’ve doubled engineering numbers over the last three years in terms of engineering apprenticeships.”
Linda added Lancashire’s recent success reflects how colleges now work directly with employers and SMEs to design solutions together rather than operating in isolation.
She said: “We see the Multiversity being a real hub for the business community in Blackpool.
“We’re seeking to understand what the business challenges are and from a skills perspective, how we can help?
“Whether it is retention, recruitment, customer service or the use of AI, is there something we can do because we’re keen to get that broader, longer partnership.”
