🌍 World Environment Day

This year’s theme focuses on the action needed to address environmental challenges and support a more sustainable future.

In our industry, that means developing the skills required to work with renewable and low carbon technologies.

Training in areas such as air source heat pumps and other renewable technologies helps individuals and businesses adapt to change and play a role in the transition towards more sustainable solutions.

Steve Willis visited Burgess Hill Youth earlier this week to present a cheque for £1500 - this amount includes the generous donations from our Burgess Hill Graduation event, along with a top up from Steve Willis Training.

On arrival, Steve got to meet some of the young carers that benefit from the work that Burgess Hill Youth do, and they all joined for the photo! 😊

We had a fantastic evening last Thursday celebrating our Portchester apprentices. 🎓🥂

A special thank you to Steve Willis and our sponsors for sharing a few words on the evening - a fitting way to mark the occasion.

We’d also like to thank everyone who took part in the auction and raffle. Thanks to your generosity, we raised £370 on the night, combined with a £1,130 contribution from Steve Willis Training, this brings the total to £1,500 raised for Motiv8, a brilliant charity supporting young people in the local community. 🙌😊

We’re pleased to be donating this £1,500 through the Big Give later this year, where it will be match funded, meaning a massive £3,000 will go towards supporting Motiv8!

A 𝐡𝐮𝐠𝐞 thank you to the businesses who kindly donated raffle prizes, and sponsored our Apprentice awards:

Kane, Megger, Fusebox, Bingo Bango, CS Heating Ltd, Victorious Festival, Shake & Grill Southsea, The Glow Up Clinic Fareham, 247 Fitness, Team Sport Karting, Leah Beth Fitness, The Canteen, Everybody Pilates Southsea, Garsons Titchfield, Creative Boutique, & Stakes Financial Services.

📚 Learning at Work Week

Learning isn’t limited to the classroom - it happens every day in the workplace through experience, guidance and structured development.

This reflects this year’s theme, Many Ways to Learn.

Apprenticeships play an important role in supporting learning while enabling individuals to contribute to their organisation from day one.

💚 Mental Health Awareness Week

This year’s theme is Action - moving beyond awareness and towards meaningful change.

Sometimes action is about small, everyday steps:
taking time to check in, setting realistic expectations, and creating space for balance in learning and work.

These actions help build environments where people feel supported, understood and able to thrive.

If you or someone you know needs support, help is available:
• Samaritans – 116 123
• YoungMinds – Text ‘SHOUT’ to 85258
• NHS Mental Health Services – www.nhs.uk/mental-health/

Thanks TSAT - The Portsmouth Academy for having us! 🙌

A huge thank you to Adam and Lou from Steve Willis Training Centres for hosting a workshop today.

15 of our Yr10 students spent the morning learning how to make it in the Electrical and Plumbing world, finishing off with a pipe practical.

Your first time attending TPA and I have already been asked 6 times when you are coming back!

Thank you guys!

Today, our Gas Trainer Adam, and Business Development Careers Coordinator Lou visited TSAT - The Portsmouth Academy to deliver an engaging session with Year 10 students.

Lou presented an informative talk about Apprenticeships and helped spread the word about the opportunities available through Steve Willis Training. Meanwhile, Adam led a hands-on workshop where students learned how to cut copper pipe and assemble a board themselves.

It was a fantastic opportunity for students to gain practical experience, learn more about apprenticeships, and get an insight into the work we do within the industry.

Thank you to Portsmouth Academy for having us, we really enjoyed meeting the students and inspiring the next generation! 👏
