One of the ways that the North West Gas Alliance (NWGA) has had a positive influence on its local community was to pilot an Enterprise Learning scheme in conjunction with the Enterprise Advisory Service (EAS), a division of the Learning and Skills Council.
This scheme was aimed at Key Stage 4 pupils and was designed to the incorporate key learning outcomes desired by the EAS
The North West Gas Alliance recognises that it has responsibilities to have a positive impact on the community, not just through its work to replace the Gas Mains Network in the North West.
NWGA's policy on CSR is to ensure that the community are engaged and can contribute positively to the Alliance as well as the Alliance contributing positively to the community. Additionally NWGA sees CSR as an opportunity to support the development of its staff.
The NWGA run an exciting programme to deliver an alternative and innovative training programme to a group of Yr 10 students from the local schools.
These students will spend a minimum of 50 days with the NWGA over a 2 year period, where, on successful completion of the course, will have achieved a level 2 City & Guilds NVQ qualification in gas engineering.
