amilton Litestat, the electrical solutions supplier, is providing
electrical installation training aids to apprentices at the Kings Langley Campus at West Herts College, Hertfordshire, to help curb the industry skills shortage. Through its relationship with local wholesaler Grant & Stone Hemel Hempstead, Hamilton is supplying West Herts College with smart control wiring boards for training.

hands-on experience that has been facilitated by Hamilton’s support is a really valuable learning tool for our students.” Hamilton’s Marketing Manager, Gavin
Williams, added: “Hamilton is investing in programmes like this, along with our own free training courses, to help try and bridge the industry’s skills gap.” Due to misconceptions about programming
processes, the adoption of smart controls and smart technology amongst qualified electricians has been stilted. Hamilton is continuing its efforts to combat this misunderstanding. Its Smart Lighting Control Challenge, which has run at various exhibitions, and free training courses at its facilities in Mere have helped those wanting to embrace the ‘smart era’. Hamilton is hosting Smart Lighting and Audio
Control Training Courses in Mere, Wiltshire, to introduce the benefits of lighting and audio control and help installers expand their services and business revenue.
