Tees Valley Net Zero Industry Scholarship

As Tees Valley develops the cleaner, healthier and safer industries of tomorrow, the Tees Valley Net Zero Industry Scholarship is here to provide training for local people to build their careers.

The scholarship will train a new generation of skilled workers in key industrial roles crucial to the success of our region’s Net Zero ambitions.

The scholarship is providing individuals aged 16 and above, with up to two years’ training in trades such as:

• Welding
• Instrumentation
• Pipefitting
• Electrical Engineering
• Civil Operations

Participants receive £100 per week during term time to help support them financially as they develop their skills.

Training is delivered through local education providers including Darlington College, Hartlepool FE College, Middlesbrough College, Redcar & Cleveland College and NETA Training, backed by the Teesworks Skills Academy.

The scholarship is being powered by Net Zero Teesside Power and the Northern Endurance Partnership, which are working together on the Teesworks site to create the world’s first decarbonised industrial cluster thanks to a world-first power plant with carbon capture and storage capabilities.

Applications for the programme are currently closed.
