As part of PropelA's commitment to industry-relevant skills development, our plumbing apprentices are gaining practical experience in the installation and maintenance of solar water heating systems.

What sets PropelA apart is its industry-led approach. Developed in collaboration with private sector partners, the curriculum is designed to reflect current workplace needs, ensuring apprentices acquire the skills and competencies employers value most.

By integrating sustainable technologies such as solar water heating into training, apprentices are equipped with practical, future-focused skills that respond to the evolving demands of the plumbing industry.

PropelA is building a skilled workforce equipped to drive sustainable innovation and meet the evolving needs of industry.

The PropelA programme equips apprentices with industry-relevant skills within a relatively short period, enabling them to deliver quality work and contribute to project implementation from the outset. For private sector partners, this translates into immediate value and a more productive workforce.

As Nicholas Komu, Director of Relatech Plumbers, shares, one of the key returns on investment from PropelA is the short time it takes for apprentices to acquire the skills needed to deliver quality projects and results on-site.
