Humberside oil refinery Phillips 66 is backing efforts for a ten-fold increase in apprentices at an expanded specialist £60m centre to tackle engineering construction skill shortages and meet net zero targets.
The US giant, which runs a refinery in South Killingholme, North Lincolnshire, is backing plans for the development of a £60m state-of-the-art facility in Stallingborough near Grimsby which will be known as a national net zero training centre. The work entails a substantial expansion of the existing Centre for Assessment for Technical Competence Humber facility which is backed by a variety of major industrial companies based in the region.
” Refinery manager Paul Fursey added that the company is keen to show it is a positive career choice for young people. “Yes we are an oil refinery but we are starting to replace crude oil with renewable feedstocks, we are making speciality carbon for electric vehicles - it is time of change and transition,” he said. 'Young people should be looking at this as an exciting opportunity to get into the industry rather than looking it as a dying industry.
