🦺 Exploring the importance of PPE!
Students from Hull Training and Adult Education recently visited the Arco Discovery Centre for an insightful session exploring PPE and its importance in keeping people safe at work.

The visit included a tour of the lab, an informative talk and a walk-through of the Discovery Centre, giving the students the opportunity to learn more about PPE and see first-hand how it is developed and used.

A really interesting and beneficial experience for everyone involved, helping the students build their knowledge of workplace safety and the importance of wearing the right PPE. 👷‍♀️👷‍♂️

A big thank you to Arco and their team for taking the time to deliver such an informative and engaging session for the students! 🙌

🎉 Celebrating 30 years of HEY Children’s University!

We were delighted to recently attend the HEY Children’s University 30th Anniversary Ball, celebrating three decades of supporting children across Hull and East Yorkshire.

The evening featured an amazing seaside theme, which we were proud to play a part in bringing to life. Working with East Riding College, we helped create the giant sandcastle, in the foyer, for the evening. While as collaborating with Hull Training to help produce the fantastic seaside backdrop. 🌊🏖️

The evening raised an incredible £47,000, helping HEY Children’s University continue creating opportunities and brighter futures for the next generation.

A fantastic example of local organisations coming together for a brilliant cause. Congratulations to everyone involved in making the evening such a success! 💙

Hull & East Riding Apprenticeship Expo! 🙌

With over 50 employers and training providers exhibiting, the event brought together hundreds of young people, parents and job seekers to explore the wide range of apprenticeship and training opportunities available across the region.

It was great to speak with attendees about careers in construction and showcase the many pathways into the industry, from apprenticeships and trainee roles to professional careers in areas such as design, surveying, project management, buying and engineering. 🏗️

Events like this play an important role in helping people discover opportunities, connect with employers and take the next step towards a rewarding career.

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by our stand. We look forward to welcoming some of the industry’s future talent in the years ahead! 🌟
