News: AMRC Training Centre joins National Skills Academy for Nuclear Manufacturing
The AMRC Training Centre has become a higher education (HE) associate member of the National Skills Academy for Nuclear Manufacturing.
Linked to the University of Sheffield, the AMRC Training Centre is a £20.5m centre on the Advanced Manufacturing Park (AMP) in Rotherham where the focus will be on 250 students aged from 16 upwards, taken on paid apprenticeships with opportunities to progress on to postgraduate courses.
In collaboration with manufacturing skills group Semta, the NSA Nuclear Manufacturing has created a single point of entry for employers and a dedicated team, based at the Nuclear AMRC's facility on the AMP, will tackle the most urgent skills challenges facing the nuclear manufacturing industry.
NSA Nuclear Manufacturing operates on a membership model, with industrial members gaining full access to its specialist skills services. Members include Rolls-Royce and Newburgh Engineering.
HE members are working on the development of industry backed foundation degrees and the University of Sheffield is in the process of developing an MSc in Nuclear Manufacturing on top of the existing engineering offer.
Alison Bettac, director of the AMRC Training Centre (pictured, centre), said: "We are really pleased to be officially associated with the National Skills Academy Nuclear Manufacturing. The AMRC Training Centre aims to provide practical and academic skills that manufacturing companies need to compete globally, from apprenticeship through to doctorate and MBA level, plus continuing professional development.
"We intend to collaborate with other Higher Education centres of excellence in the Skills Academy provider network in order to strengthen the CPD offer for the nuclear manufacturing supply chain."
Annette Valentine, training and skills manager at the Nuclear AMRC (pictured, left), added: "Joining the Skills Academy HE provider network is an important step forward for us. Our shared ambition is to deliver industry focused training and qualifications designed to help employers demonstrate their capability to win new business in nuclear. We look forward to developing new opportunities within the network to help us achieve this ambition."
Helen Higgs, HR director at AREVA and chairperson of the National Skills Academy Nuclear Manufacturing board, said: "We are delighted to have The University of Sheffield as part of the Skills Academy HE provider network. Their quality research, breadth of knowledge, skills and expertise will be of great benefit to our extensive employer membership. We look forward to working with Sheffield at this exciting time of growth and development for the UK nuclear manufacturing industry."
