ECA has launched the Electrotechnical Training and Careers Alliances (ETCAs): an innovative and unique initiative to connect Members, skills providers and local authorities.
Their purpose is to help ECA Members to train and employ competent professionals within their region.
Each ETCA relies on a group of local ECA Members agreeing to come together and work with education providers and other stakeholders on a plan of action to improve skills and careers provision in their local area.
To register your interest in taking part or to find out more about what might be happening in your area, please contact either your ECA regional team or the Education & Skills team.
ECA has drafted a list of possible initiatives which participants in an ETCA might want to undertake, but the choice between these (and any other options that aren’t suggested) rests entirely with the participants themselves.
What form your own ETCA takes depends on what you want to achieve and the willingness of other Members in your local area to unite around the same vision. ECA is here to support Members and other ETCA participants all the way through, with industry-leading research on the current state of electrical skills in each locality and strong links to local skills influencers.
Check out Education & Skills’ new pages on National Policies and Standards and Local Skills Partnerships to find out more about the work ECA are doing on skills within the sector.
