Access to Engineering
A Bright Future
in Engineering
We are pleased to announce an exciting partnership with Humberside Engineering Training Association (HETA), providing support into engineering for students across Lincolnshire and the Humber.
Beginning in September 2025, the collaboration between JLC and HETA will create new, structured pathways for students who either did not secure their core GCSE qualifications, or were not initially successful in securing a place at HETA's highly competitive apprenticeship selection events. This partnership will use a three tiered approach to ensure that no talented student is left behind in their journey toward a career in engineering
To give you opportunity to learn more, we are holding an information evening on Thursday 26th June 2025. Please fill in the short form below and additional information will be shared with you via email.
