JTL celebrates thirty years of training people J
TL, a leading national training provider for
electrical and heating and plumbing apprenticeships, is celebrating its thirty-year anniversary.
Established in 1990 by the
Electrical Contractors’ Association and what is now known as Unite the Union, JTL became a registered charity in 2000. Today, JTL works with over 3,800 businesses, supporting 8,000 young people across four apprenticeship disciplines (Electrical, Plumbing, Heating & Ventilating and Engineering Maintenance). Jon Graham, chief executive of JTL, said: “We have seen many changes in the industry over the last three decades, and 2020 has certainly been the most challenging to date with the outbreak of Covid-19. JTL recognises that this is a worrying and unpredictable time, so we are continuing to raise the profile and appeal of apprenticeships, as well as supporting both learners and employers, to ensure the pipeline of skilled tradespeople continues. “This year marks a truly special anniversary for everybody involved with JTL as we celebrate thirty years of training people, and continue our vision of supporting our learners with opportunities to build futures and change their lives. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported JTL over the years, from apprentices and staff to employers and industry bodies, plus all those working behind the scenes to help establish JTL as the leading training provider it is today.”
