LSIF Support Ensures HETA Trophies are a Cut Above
Humberside Engineering Training Association (HETA) made it a double celebration at its awards night.
The occasion celebrated the success of learners and employers, and the trophies presented to the winners marked the progress made by the organisation as a key supporter of HEY LSIP.
HETA set its fabrication and welding apprentices the challenge of designing and making the awards for the event. They completed the task using new design software, 3D printers and laser cutters which had all been provided with the help of investment from the Local Skills Improvement Fund (LSIF).
Iain Elliott, CEO of HETA, also highlighted other LSIF benefits: “Being part of the LSIF was a ‘game changer’ for HETA in that it provided strategic funding that has allowed us to improve the existing curriculum and develop a new offer for learners and employers.
“It has allowed us to achieve significant development of digital resources, hardware and infrastructure to support learning in the context of digital skills and a new curriculum offer that will focus on Industry 4.0, de-carbonisation and improved productivity and efficiency.”
Rod Chambers, Project Manager for HEY LSIP, said: “HETA have benefited hugely from their investment in new equipment bought with their LSIF investment funding.”
