CATCH Recognised Nationally for Leading the Way in Clean Energy Skills
CATCH has been recognised in the Government’s Clean Energy Jobs Plan as an example of how industry and education can work together to create the skilled workforce needed for the clean energy future.
Based in Stallingborough, CATCH already operates as the new Technical Excellence College model, training people for real industrial careers.
The triple-award winning organisation delivers apprenticeships and training in 11 of the identified priority occupations, and its students are supported by tutors who bring years of experience from working in industry.
Its facilities are designed to feel like real industrial workplaces, giving learners hands-on experience that prepares them for their future careers. CATCH also leads the way in inclusion, running women in engineering initiatives, an equality, diversity, inclusivity and belonging network, and a dedicated outreach team connecting schools and communities with opportunities in the industrial sectors.
David Talbot, CEO of CATCH, said:
"Our strength lies in our deep-rooted industrial connections with investors, local councils, government and employers across the region.
“Our offer spans the full talent pipeline, from pre-apprenticeships and Skills Bootcamps through to Level 4 HNC programmes which will be delivered from September 2026, ensuring opportunities for learners at every stage.”
“It also supports the existing and transitioning workforce through short courses for upskilling and reskilling, aligned with the region’s industrial needs.”
The Government’s report describes CATCH as “an employer-led training provider, co-funded by industry and government, supporting reskilling in hydrogen, carbon capture, utilisation and storage, and process operation."
