Partnership between Lancashire Energy HQ and BIU

B&FC’s strategic partnership with British Independent Utilities (BIU) was set up by the North and Western Lancashire Chamber of Commerce Young Chamber programme, which works to increase employment opportunities for young people in the region.

“BIU is one of the leaders in its field and is looking to continue growing so we want to be able to offer businesses in this sector employees who have a solid background and understanding of the role before joining the workforce.

“Some of the skills needed by this sector centre around data analysis and research abilities which are among our areas of expertise at B&FC so we can offer valuable knowledge and experience to allow our industry partners to develop their workforce.”

One of the highlights of the partnership will be B&FC and BIU working together to develop a new programme related to energy monitoring and analysis.

“With the technology and teaching Lancashire Energy HQ offers its students and the 20 years of knowledge and experience BIU can offer, we are positive that this project will develop our energy experts of the future.”

The ethos at B&FC is to focus on aspects of education and training which drive the economy, deliver a skilled workforce for industry and secure employment for students. The partnership will meet all those requirements and give B&FC and BIU the opportunity to work with the chamber to improve education and training within the sector.
