JTL, an independent apprenticeship provider in the electrical and plumbing trades, is set to open a new state-of-the-art training hub in Preston.
With the Lancashire Local Skills Improvement Plan identifying these occupations as priorities for the region, backed by data from the Electrical Contractors Association showing low numbers of apprenticeship starts, Preston Training Centre aligns with JTL’s mission to meet the demands of local employers.
Initially, it will offer four electrical courses and one plumbing course, training 256 electrical and 64 plumbing apprentices over a four-year apprenticeship cycle, with the potential for further expansion. Chris Claydon, chief executive of JTL, said: “The launch of our Preston Training Centre is a pivotal moment for JTL and the local community. By investing in state-of-the-art facilities and fostering partnerships with local employers, we aim to provide high-quality apprenticeship training that directly address the specific skills needs of the region.
