We are now offering plasma cutting, steel metal working and fabrication services to industry. This allows us to raise the aspirations of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds and support them into engineering trades. Email [email protected]
Great to see this on Derby City Council 's website - scroll down a bit to see us mentioned - it really is a fantastic scheme that helps so many young people. And big thanks to East Midlands Railway for helping us to make our holiday programme happen. https://t.co/kGw8vBRb5A
We are very proud of this young man :-) He started as a student with us when he was at school, he's also done some work experience with us, and achieved his Level 2 with us.... And now he's only gone and got himself a job at @jcb. What a star!
Yay its time for Active Hands again! Thanks so much to our supporters for enabling us to deliver healthy food and fun activities to local young people, as well as equiping them with skills they can take into the workplace. With East Midlands Railway #derbyhaf#HAF#haf2023
Ahead of the arrival of the ‘anti-violence bee’ to Derbyshire, groups at @EngLearnUK in Derby saw the force’s appeal for people to get creative and make bees in response to the visit, and have made a one-of-a-kind ornament.

Derbyshire Police have been asking community groups to make bees in support of its Anti-Violence Campaign, and our students helped to create this awesome plasma-cut bee made from steel. #police#community#students

When your students tell you that they really want to come to your school holiday programme again and then @TNLComFund awards you funding to support your programme - beyond happy :-)
One of the main objectives of the Summer HAF programme Active Hands is to combat school holiday hunger by providing healthy food to our young people. They've certainly enjoyed trying a wide range of food and have taken home ideas about healthy eating, food prep etc.
Our Summer Active Hands Students have been up to all sorts this summer as you've probably seen 😃 We've learnt how to repair bikes and cars as part of this fabulous school holiday programme supported by HAF funding and @Eastmidlandsra2
Our Active Hands summer programme students started their week learning to weld and ended it meeting the Minister for Transport supporting Derby's bid to become Headquarters for Great British Railways #DerbyGBR - not a bad week's work for these 11-15 year olds😀
Really looking forward to starting our Summer HAF programme Active Hands. It helps young people to access food during the school holidays as well as learning new skills and having fun! Win Win #summerhaf#HAF
Free 2 hour taster workshops in motor vehicle engineering and/or fabrication and welding are available at our specialist workshops in Derby and Chesterfield. Schools and parents who are home-schooling can book places by emailing [email protected]#learn#engineering
