We need to increase the number of electrical apprenticeships in England. We’ve just launched the #ElectricalSkillsIndex. It analyses how many people in England are starting classroom-only courses compared to apprenticeships. We’ve found that many parts of the country are facing a shocking shortage of electrical skills. This shortage has broken our electrical skills circuit! We need to complete this circuit to ensure we have a safe and reliable electrification across England.

With the planned transition to Net Zero and the intention to electrify transport & heat, people with sound electrical training are key. New electrical technologies demand these skills now. Link this to the devastation caused by the storms that accompany climate change, you just need to scan last weekend's media to see how this pressure will compound. We are focussed on power quality at utility level initially, first water and shortly power. We now see how plant trips increasingly have their root cause from outside the perimeter. These are now often caused by short voltage sags in the power supply to the site. The DSO and the customer now have to invest to ensure continuity of plants, factories, data centres et al to protect our economy. This is no simple problem and needs innovative solutions often yet to be tried in the UK and in fact, in most nations.

Before I joined the Foundation, National Apprenticeship Week was not something I was tracking. Or even knew was a thing. But today, I understand the power of apprenticeship - the skillful mentors and trainers, the employees who are advancing into new opportunities and lifelong careers, and the employers who are making it all possible by investing in the future of their workforce. Cheers to 10 years of #NAW2024 and to the investment in people that we are making in partnership with the #hotelindustry.
