New engineering era for HETA at new site

In addition to operating from a new site in Scunthorpe from next month, HETA (Humberside Engineering Training Association) will take the number of apprentices trained across the company’s three sites to 200 per year.

This is part of an effort to develop its business further in North Lincolnshire, Doncaster and Gainsborough.

The purchase of a new site means that HETA can offer a more bespoke first year of training as well as a large portfolio of adult up-skilling courses for industry. The new centre will officially open for business at the end of August.

James McIntosh, business development and marketing manager at HETA, said: “The new developments with the Foxhills centre mean that we can fully meet the needs of our client companies in Scunthorpe in addition to attracting new business from the local area. The vision is to grow the business and train apprentices and adults from Doncaster and Gainsborough where there is a hub of engineering and manufacturing companies, some of which we already deal with.

“The potential for this site is huge and there is possibility that in a couple of years time it will be as successful as our biggest site in Hull. We are looking forward to engaging with schools in the area so that the young people appreciate the scale of job opportunities available through the apprenticeship scheme.”

HETA is hosting an official opening event on Tuesday, September 23 and will be sending out invitations with further details shortly.
