  1. The Energy to Make a Difference • A labour market steeped in technical and manufacturing expertise. • An industrial renaissance that will transform our sectors and create new labour demand and skills requirements. • The “UK Energy Estuary” and “Humber Campus” vision with the Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) • £ billions of capital infrastructure in prospect.

  2. R.I.P. Government departments change…… …however, our consumption, habits and requirements remain unchanged, so we have to “green” our economy, our businesses, transport, our homes & and skills to achieve the vision.

  3. We consumeWe polluteGrimsby is ranked 3rd in UK for highest emissions per capita head in the UK Carbon dioxide emissions per capita in the United Kingdom (UK) 2012 Middlesborough had the highest per capita emissions at 25.6 tonnes, followed by Newport and Grimsby at 9.4 tonnes per head. (Statista, 2016) Why “Grimsby” ? Food/Cold Stores, Ports, Energy, Chemical and Manufacturing = heavy industry!

  4. What's changing at Home? (April’16 view from DECC)

  5. Energy to change – Macro to Micro/Local

  6. If we could make a difference locally, what would it look like? • Solar/Wind/Wave – capture the elements • Ground Source Heat and Heat Exchange Systems • Bio-Fuels, de-carbonisation and sustainable fuels • Refrigeration, Air conditioning and Controls • Smart meters/systems • New built environments • Micro-generation and new energy • All require • NEW SKILLS

  7. What does the LMI say? Changes/Growth in Technical Jobs

  8. What does the LMI say? Technical jobs have a projected net growth. Factor in an aging skilled workforces and the requirement for labour replacement and we need growth/STEM investment.

  9. What is on offer now? • £9m training department in Engineering, Renewables and Construction, delivering: • Engineering, Plumbing, Gas, Solid Fuels, Fabrication and Welding, Construction, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, Electrical and Electronics Installations, Instrumentation, Engineering Design (CAD/CAM), Ground Source Heat, Bio Fuels and HETAS Centre, Solar PV, 17th Edition, Process Technologies, Metering, pumps, non-destructive testing, etc… • Growth in Apprenticeships and new HE Apps for the future. • New Degrees in Environmental Technologies • Provision aligned to and responding to new reforms: Apprenticeships/Technical Institutes/HE and JOBS JOBSJOBS

  10. Industrial Strategy –Technical Institutes “Our action will help ensure young people develop the skills they need to do the high-paid, high-skilled jobs of the future. That means boosting technical education and ensuring we extend the same opportunity and respect we give university graduates to those people who pursue technical routes”. “overhaul of technical education to help level the playing field by providing a credible alternative to the academic route” Theresa May – Prime Minister 21/1/17

  11. Institutes of Technology “…delivering higher level technical education in STEM subjects across all regions”. This is part of a new system of technical education which will replace thousands of qualifications, many of which are low quality, with just 15 core technical ‘routes’. The routes will be designed specifically to respond to the needs of industry and will help equip learners with the skills in demand from local employers”.

  12. The Energy to Change? • We should be excited by the opportunities. • We should build a skills eco-system to meet the future labour needs • We need to better integrate planning, guidance and skills pathways; placing the learner and their destination at the heart of our system. • We should capitalise upon our competitiveness • For more info, contact: www.grimsby.ac.uk Tel: 0044 1472 311222 goudieaj@grimsby.ac.uk
