Training

Manufacturing training is an ongoing vital demand in Lincolnshire, preparing the workforce with the necessary skills to succeed in a fast-changing industry. Extensive training initiatives deliver crucial technical expertise and practical insights for a range of roles, including machinery operation, quality control, and safety protocols. Continuous training updates employees on the newest technologies and optimal practices, promoting ongoing enhancement and creativity. This commitment not only elevates employee performance and satisfaction but also enhances productivity and competitiveness within Lincolnshire's manufacturing sector.

Located across England, Institutes of Technology (IoTs) provide education and training in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths) based occupations to meet both regional and national employer needs. With courses designed and delivered in collaboration with employers and supported by a £290 million government investment, each IoT offers real-world learning experiences using industry-standard equipment to better prepare learners for today's workplace complexities. Institutes of Technology, initiated by the Department of Education, are recognised as frontrunners in delivering top-tier, higher-level technical education and training across various STEM-related occupations and industries.
