Partnerships have been integral to the success of our apprenticeship.
Each of our strategic partners – from education, training and industry – was formed before we even signed off our programme for ‘Practitioner in Pipelines for Hydrogen and Utilities’, which is derived from the Level 3 Construction Support Technician apprenticeship.
We worked collaboratively to align the apprenticeship standard with our ambition to create the next generation of pipeline inspectors.
Eighteen months in, as we prepare to see our first cohort of apprentices graduate from what has been a hugely successful programme, it seemed timely to catch up with our partners at Hopwood Hall College.
Say hello to Catherine Heaton.
Catherine is currently supporting our apprentices as they complete their End Point Assessment (EPA), she is the work-based tutor for the Level 3 Construction Support Technician (CST) apprenticeship, the foundation of our PIPHU programme.
Here we find out more about her role, why apprenticeships and why she loves supporting individuals as they embark on learning that will lead to fulfilling careers.
