The ECITB has awarded £250,000 in Regional Skills Hub funding to a new robotics training facility in West Cumbria.

The Cumbria Robotics Operations Skills Centre (CROSS), which will officially open later this year, has been developed collaboratively to build the robotics-skilled workforce needed to deliver the UK’s nuclear and clean energy ambitions.

The extra funding from the ECITB, which comes from our investment in Regional Skills Hubs, will support the delivery of the hub, such as developing the curriculum, short bite-sized courses and teaching resources and the expansion of technical and sector-relevant content beyond the centre’s initial focus on the nuclear sector.

ECITB Chief Executive Andrew Hockey said: “A key pillar of our Leading Industry Learning strategy is to drive technology adoption through training to allow industry to harness new technologies, including robotics. This project and the new, cutting-edge CROSS facility help meet this objective by delivering much-needed robotics training to benefit Sellafield nuclear site and other ECI sectors in the future.”

Who are the PMSG?

Since 2014, the ECITB Project Management Steering Group (PMSG) has brought together project professionals from across engineering construction to help shape the skills and competence needed to deliver better projects.

The group’s work spans five key areas: competence, attraction, project controls, the Project Management Conference and e-learning through the LXP Academy.

The annual Project Management Conference is one of the ways the PMSG brings the industry together to share knowledge, explore emerging challenges and support the development of project professionals.

📸 Here are a few highlights from last year’s conference.
