Heating equipment manufacturer Baxi has announced a 4-year principal Sponsorship of World Skills UK.
The announcement comes after World Youth Skills Day on 15th July, and builds on Baxi’s partnership with not-for-profit organisation Primary Engineer to bring STEM into the classroom.
Baxi’s UK sponsorship is funded by the BDR Thermea Foundation, the owner of Baxi’s parent company BDR Thermea Group.
Ian Trott, Baxi’s head of UK training solutions, said; “We are privileged to have this opportunity to help shape the UK’s future workforce, supporting excellence in vocational skills, particularly in the HVAC sector. Our role is to make sure everyone has access to reliable, affordable and sustainable heating and hot water, which means we have to invest today to create and embed the skills needed in our decarbonised future. World Skills is a great organisation, and thanks to the backing from our the BDR Foundation, it’s a perfect fit for Baxi’s work already underway with Primary Engineer.”
