EV Charging Installation Completed by Learners at Teach A Trade
Teach A Trade has successfully installed eight electric vehicle (EV) charging points at its training centre in Telford, Shropshire, with the work carried out by learners who completed the centre’s Green Spark Project. This milestone highlights the organisation’s commitment to delivering practical, real-world training that aligns with the growing demand for low-carbon technologies across the West Midlands.
The installation was completed as part of hands-on training, giving learners the opportunity to work on live infrastructure rather than simulated setups. This approach ensures candidates gain the confidence, competence and industry-ready skills required to progress into employment or expand their existing trade offering.
Real-World Training That Reflects Industry Demand
As the UK continues its transition towards net zero, the demand for qualified electricians and engineers capable of installing and maintaining EV charging systems continues to rise. Teach A Trade’s delivery model places a strong emphasis on applied learning, ensuring that candidates are not only qualified on paper but are also capable of carrying out installations safely and effectively in real environments.
The Green Spark Project integrates multiple renewable technologies, including:
- EV charging installation
- Solar PV systems
- Electrical Energy Storage Systems (EESS)
By combining these disciplines, learners develop a broader understanding of how modern electrical systems interact, preparing them for a rapidly evolving sector.
Supporting Skills Growth Across Telford and the West Midlands
Based in Telford, Teach A Trade continues to support both new entrants and experienced tradespeople across Shropshire and the West Midlands.
