Heald announces partnership with Ron Dearing UTC

As a result of the ongoing challenges posed to young people, supporting young adults kickstart their manufacturing careers is something Heald remains firmly committed to. In light of this, Heald is pleased to announce a new partnership agreement with Ron Dearing UTC. 

This new partnership with Hull-based Ron Dearing UTC will provide new opportunities for students to undertake internships and work experience placements with Heald with the potential for longer-term employment opportunities.

With many different engineering disciplines within the company, Heald hopes to help guide learning at Ron Dearing UTC to include their specific engineering requirements, which will enable any new employees to progress much quicker into full-time employment from apprenticeship or trainee level, benefitting both the individuals career progression and the business offering. 

Managing Director, Debbie Heald MBE added: “I only recently became aware of Ron Dearing UTC but after discovering more about what they do and their approach to learning, it seemed a natural fit.

“With education settings and student’s learning facing significant disruption in recent months, engaging with local schools, colleges and universities is vital to ensure students are able to access meaningful engagement with employers. In turn, this not only helps them to decide on what they wish to do post-education but it also helps them to transition into their chosen career path, and as a result, can be an excellent recruitment pipeline for those businesses who do engage. 

“We’re very excited about our new partnership with Ron Dearing UTC and we’re looking forward to working with local individuals who are passionate about engineering in every field.”
