It was a real pleasure to host 1st Catforth Scouts at Blackpool & The Fylde College, LEHQ campus for an evening of STEM activities.
The pack fully engaged and showed great enthusiasm & skill in the individual tasks the team at LEHQ presented to the group.
The scouts took on Laser etching, copper tube manipulation, in the shape of hearts ❤️ which was warming!!!
And an exciting and informative session in the LEHQ nuclear simulation suite.
A huge thank-you to Maddie, Jordan & Kevin for giving up their Wednesday evening to help facilitate this event.
Well done 1st Catforth Scouts, you’re welcome back anytime 😊

We’ve had some real “ star “ welders at LEHQ campus this week 😊
It’s been a pleasure to host some of our degree apprentices from Vodafone sub-marine for a few days practical appreciation training.
We ran some short practical sessions to give the degree apprentices a taste of TIG & MIG welding, Tube manipulation, & some electronic circuit building.
Thanks to Vodafone for helping facilitate this and to the apprentice’s themselves for being so enthusiastic about their training 😊

All good things come to an end….

We’ve had a great week hosting another cohort of Nuclear Graduates.
At Blackpool & Fylde College LEHQ

Created and established by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) in 2008, The Nuclear Graduates programme has been wholly funded by organisations across the UK nuclear industry.
Nuclear Graduates is managed on behalf of the NDA by Energus.
Nuclear Graduates is the most comprehensive scheme the sector has ever seen.

We at Blackpool & Fylde College LEHQ are proud to partner Energus in providing practical skills training for the
“ Nuclear Grads”
We look forward to again working with Energus & the Nuclear Graduates on further collaborative programmes
As with previous cohorts, the latest
“Grads” have been a pleasure to work with at LEHQ and are welcome back at any time,
Thanks guys for a great week 😊

Great to have BDR Thermea/BAXI Heating back at LEHQ this week for more specialist welding training.
Philip & John, both development engineers, have spent the week with us, getting to grips with thin sheet stainless steel TIG welding.
I’m sure they would agree it was a steep learning curve.
It was a pleasure to have them at LEHQ and they both made great progress.
Thanks again to BDR Thermea for choosing Blackpool & the Fylde College, Lancashire Energy HQ to deliver specialist skills training to their workforce.
