CATCH is proud to announce that we have been awarded the contract to deliver the technical certificate of the JTL Electrical Installation apprenticeship in the South Humber region. This significant achievement underscores our commitment to addressing the skills gap in the engineering construction industry and supporting the transition to a net zero future.

JTL is one of the largest work-based learning providers in England and Wales, working with over 3,800 businesses and training almost 9,000 apprentices in the building services engineering sector. JTL were looking for a partner in the South Humber region due to a lack of available local provision. This contract will see 18 learners start at CATCH in September for a day release programme with the rest of their time being spent with a sponsoring employer in industry.

James McIntosh, Chief Commercial Officer at CATCH, commented: “We are thrilled to have been chosen to deliver the Technical Certificate as part of the JTL programme. This opportunity allows us to make a substantial impact on the engineering construction industry by training new entrants who will play a crucial role in achieving our industries net zero ambitions. Our dedicated team is committed to providing high-quality training that meets the needs of both apprentices and employers in the Humber region.”

The JTL Electrical Installation apprenticeship is designed to provide apprentices with a comprehensive understanding of electrical systems, safety protocols, and the latest industry standards. It includes a spectrum of sustainable and energy-efficient technologies, reflecting the skills needed for the UK’s transition to net zero. Through hands-on training and theoretical instruction, apprentices will gain the competencies needed to thrive in their careers and contribute to the region’s economic and environmental goals. It is one of six ‘gold standard’ apprenticeships that were awarded the Coronation Emblem in 2023 because it contributes to a low carbon economy and helps to build a workforce that is equipped with the skills needed for a green future.

As part of our commitment to excellence, CATCH will leverage its state-of-the-art facilities and experienced instructors to deliver a training program that is both rigorous and supportive. We believe that by investing in the education and development of future electricians, we are not only addressing current industry needs but also laying the foundation for a sustainable and prosperous future.
