Tomorrow's workforce fuelled by award-winning collaboration

Winners of the ‘Best Provider & Employer Collaboration Award’ at the 2021 UK Nuclear Skills Awards

Lancashire Energy HQ recently won the ‘Best Provider & Employer Collaboration Award’ for their Nuclear Degree Apprenticeship programme at the 2021 UK Nuclear Skills Awards.

The team had some very prestigious companies as competition, but the panel recognised the partnership work that the team have achieved in the development of their Nuclear Degree Apprenticeship programme in collaboration with BAE Systems, the Office for Nuclear Regulation, Westinghouse Springfield Fuels and also North West Projects.

On top of this fantastic accomplishment, one of our students also won the ‘Advanced Apprentice of the Year Award’ at the event. Kane Porter, who is studying BEng (Hons) has beat tough competition from across the UK to secure this win. Kane works at Westinghouse Springfield Fuels and has been with us from apprenticeship through to degree study.
