Ideal Heating has announced it will be offering a series of new apprenticeship opportunities throughout 2022 as it prepares the next generation of talent with skills ready for a future in green energy.
With over 10 new apprenticeships set to be introduced across various areas of the business, the successful applicants will help Ideal play a part in the UK’s drive to become a net-zero economy by 2050, as it increases its production of low carbon heating products.
Maria Cunningham, HR advisor for development at Ideal Heating, said: “Nurturing the next generation of talent is something we’re passionate about, and 2022 will see a record number of apprenticeship opportunities become available in the business. We’re excited to be able to pass on our knowledge and expertise to the workforce of the future as we focus on providing greener energy alternatives.”
Opportunities will be listed on the Ideal Heating website as they become available, with apprenticeships being offered in areas including Research & Development, Quality, Engineering, and Marketing.
Maria continued: “Whether working in our R&D department, as an engineer in our Manufacturing Centre of Excellence, or within the digital services department, all our apprentices contribute to our collective journey of reducing carbon emissions.”
Employing over 1,300 people, Ideal has been offering apprenticeships throughout its history.
“The resources and training we provide allows apprentices to undertake high impact, structured programmes alongside our experts carrying out both theoretical and practical work as part of our end to end service.
“There are currently 15 apprentices employed here at Ideal, who work across various areas of the business. This includes within our R&D department, where they have the opportunity to work as part of our team designing and developing truly innovative products including air source heat pumps and hydrogen ready technology.”
Ideal Heating has also recently announced plans for one of the first training centres in the UK that will focus primarily on green technology, housing specially-designed equipment to deliver high-quality and in-depth training. It is also investing in a £16m expansion to its manufacturing site on National Avenue.
