ECITB’s Engineering Construction Industry scholarships are designed to equip the next generation of engineers with the skills for net zero and beyond.

The purpose of the Scholarship is to provide a sustainable pipeline of new talent for industry by providing a grounding in the industrial knowledge and skills that are in demand.

The ECITB has established centres in all the major Industrial ‘hot spot’ areas across England, Scotland and Wales with the most northerly centre being on Shetland Island.

The programme aims to accelerate learners into apprenticeships or other forms of employment by providing them with training against some of the necessary components of an apprenticeship, off the job in an approved centre.

Learners receive a weekly learner allowance and, on successful completion of the programme, they have industry-standard qualifications and relevant site passports as well as invaluable on-site industry experience coupled with a clear understanding of what is expected of them when they enter industry – all of which definitely enhances their employment prospects.

And for employers, it is an excellent opportunity to engage with the programme to identify talent, get to know the learners and recruit a young person who has had the requisite training to be either fast-tracked into an apprenticeship or recruited as a direct site hire.
