On 17th March 2020 CATCH Skills, hosted 80 University of Lincoln Engineering students for 4 days to take part in the ‘CATCH Experience’ programme. The students, who were in their 1^st year of their degree programme, benefited from invaluable practical hands on experience. The aim was to demonstrate how their skills would be used within a workplace. The training included Introduction to Plant Process, COSHH/ Hazard Identification, DCS Simulator, Loss of Containment, Laser Alignment, Pumps and Flange Integrity.

“Practical experience” in a degree programme is very difficult to achieve yet is valued as extremely important by employers. The CATCH Experience Programme allows students to apply and transfer their Engineering theoretical studies into practical scenarios, within a safe and controlled environment. The students felt this experience “provided real life examples of equipment” and allowed them to “gain visual and hands on experience of the theory.” It allows the students to have an “insight to what a career in engineering would be like.” They felt the CATCH Environment was “welcoming and friendly and simulates the real world well.”

They continued to say the environment was “realistic” with the “right amount of professionalism.”

James McIntosh, Director of the CATCH Engineering Training Partnership said “We were delighted to be able to deliver such a varied programme for the University of Lincoln students at CATCH. It is great to see another University wanting to enhance their Engineering degree curriculum with a range of different practical based experiences so the students can find out more about our industry. The feedback from the students was that they enjoyed seeing how the industrial environment linked into their studies and that the hands-on experience was most enjoyable. CATCH has an excellent relationship with the University of Lincoln, and we look forward to working with them again in the future on a variety of projects.”

The CATCH Skills team attended the ECI Training and Development awards in London on 31^st October. The team was invited down to London after making it into the final 3 for the Training Provider of the Year award. ECITB claimed we are the ‘leading training provider in the Humber’ with over 1500 delegates attending our ECITB courses each year.

CATCH Skills was created in 2016 to allow CATCH to offer training courses for delegates/ members in the Humber region. Since then CATCH Skills opened a training centre in 2017 due to the high demand in training, this allowed us to expand what we can offer. Just some of the courses we offer accredited/ non- accredited come under mechanical, electrical, process and Healthy and Safety. We now have the resources to create you a bespoke course to suit any training needs.
