JTL to launch apprenticeship training centre in Preston J
TL, a leading independent apprenticeship provider in the electrical and plumbing trades, is set to break ground on a new state-of-the-art training hub in Preston. This signifi cant investment highlights JTL’s commitment to enhancing local employment opportunities and addressing the critical skills gap in the region. Located in Cable House just outside Preston City Centre, the new Preston Training Centre will off er fi rst-class training facilities designed to provide high- quality apprenticeships in both electrical and plumbing, equipping learners with future-proofed skills for the industry.
JTL Preston will integrate training on green skills, for example Electric Vehicle charging techniques, Solar PV installation and battery storage, refl ecting JTL’s commitment to sustainability and the evolving needs of the industry. This approach aims to prepare apprentices for the future, creating a highly-skilled talent pipeline in the North West and supporting the UK’s transition to net zero.
The centre is set to welcome its fi rst cohort of apprentices in early 2025.
Haveyour say on IET Wiring Regulations T
he Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and BSI are calling on the electrical industry to have its say on an amendment to the current BS 7671:2018 Amendment 2 (2022) + Amendment 3 (2024). BS 7671 is the Requirements for Electrical Installations: IET Wiring Regulations.
The amendment, known as Amendment 4,
has been long-scheduled and will incorporate changes to harmonised standards at European level which the UK has to adopt within a certain time period.
The Draft for Public Consultation for Amendment 4 is hot on the heels of Amendment 3 which has just been published and is available as a free-to-download PDF ‘bolt-on’ to Amendment 2 from the IET and
BSI websites.
Comments on the DPC for Amendment 4 can be submitted through BSI’s Standards Development portal between 7 August and 3 November 2024.
