Vaillant in Derby College training tie-up
29th October 2024
UK: Heat pump manufacturer Vaillant has built a new, strategic partnership with Derby College Group (DCG) to help provide the skills needed to support the decarbonisation of heat.
Between them, Vaillant and DCG have developed a valuable, blended learning experience for both those leaving school and mature students.
Integrated with practical training, a new Vaillant Low Carbon Technology Training Room has also been officially opened at the Derby College Group Roundhouse campus. Incorporating Vaillant’s heat pumps and controls, it provides hands-on learning for the ten inaugural low carbon heating technician (LCHT) apprentices.
The new LCHT apprenticeship is described by Vaillant as a significant development for the industry by encouraging younger generations into the industry.
The new partnership provides an additional location for Vaillant to deliver knowledge and skills to its own employees and provides extra training capacity across Derbyshire for installers looking to upskill.
