Free training for Nottingham electricians

A group of trainee electricians from Nottingham have taken part in free training sessions to give them valuable skills and qualifications, as part of the renewable energy project between E.ON and Nottingham City Council.

E.ON's Building Services Academy hosted 10 trainees aged between 20 and 55 for courses on working at heights and manual handling.

The training scheme is one element of the joint project between Nottingham City Council, E.ON and Nottingham City Homes to install solar panels on up to 600 homes in the Aspley area of the city. The homes taking part could see their household energy bills fall by as much as £120 a year.
