In a significant step towards supporting the rapidly growing EV charging industry, representatives from the Inspire Education Group (IEG) visited ROLEC, the UK's largest manufacturer of EV charging units. This visit underscores the commitment of both organisations to advancing green technology and sustainable transportation solutions.
The discussion centered on how IEG and ROLEC can synergise their efforts to support the rapid expansion of EV charging infrastructure. The collaboration aims to address the increasing demand for skilled professionals in the EV sector, leveraging IEG's educational expertise and ROLEC's industry-leading technology.
Gary McPartland, Assistant Principal at IEG, expressed his enthusiasm about the potential of this partnership:
"Our visit to ROLEC has been incredibly insightful. We are committed to equipping our students with the necessary skills to thrive in the green technology sector. By working closely with industry leaders like ROLEC, we can ensure that our curriculum is aligned with the latest technological advancements and industry needs."
Allan Ross, Contractor Relations and Training Manager at Rolec, echoed this sentiment:
"We are thrilled to collaborate with Inspire Education Group. The demand for EV charging units is growing exponentially, and it is crucial that we have a well-trained workforce to support this growth. By partnering with IEG, we can help cultivate the next generation of skilled technicians and engineers who will drive the future of sustainable transportation."
As part of their collaboration, IEG and ROLEC will focus on curriculum development, hands-on training, and industry placements for students. This initiative is designed to provide students with real-world experience and practical skills that are directly applicable to the EV charging industry.
The visit also included a tour of ROLEC's custom-built manufacturing facilities, where IEG representatives witnessed the latest advancements in EV charging technology. This first experience provided valuable insights into the operational aspects of EV charger production and the innovative solutions that ROLEC is developing.
Looking ahead, both IEG and ROLEC are positive about their future collaboration. One of the highlights of their partnership will be a visit to the new Centre for Green Technology at Peterborough College, which is set to open at the end of the year. The Centre aims to be a hub for green innovation and education, providing students with cutting-edge resources and facilities to explore renewable energy and sustainable technologies.
"The Centre for Green Technology at Peterborough College represents a significant investment in our commitment to sustainability and green education," said Mr McPartland. "We are excited to welcome ROLEC to collaborate with us in this state-of-the-art facility, fostering an environment where students can develop the skills needed to support a sustainable future."
