At Hampshire Training and Assessment (HTAA), we’ve always believed that the secret to a great learning environment isn’t just the equipment in the classroom, it’s the people inside it.
That’s why we are incredibly proud to announce that we are continuing to be recognised by the LCL Awards Inclusivity Charter.
This isn’t just a badge on our website; it’s a public commitment to ensuring that anyone, regardless of their background, feels welcome, supported, and empowered to succeed in the building services engineering industry.
Family Values at Our Core
LCL Awards recently sat down with us to discuss our approach, and they captured our mission perfectly: Hampshire Training and Assessments is building an inclusive training environment with family values at its core.
As a family-run business, those values aren’t just corporate buzzwords, they’re how we operate every single day. We know that entering a technical trade can sometimes feel daunting. Our goal has always been to break down those barriers and provide a space where every learner feels like part of the family.
Inclusivity is about more than just representation; it’s about creating a culture where everyone has the tools and the confidence to thrive.
Why the Inclusivity Charter Matters
The trades have historically faced challenges with diversity. By joining the Inclusivity Charter, we are joining a collective movement to:
Encourage Diversity: Opening doors for underrepresented groups in the gas, electrical, plumbing & renewable sectors.
Provide Tailored Support: Recognising that every learner has different needs and adapting our teaching styles to match.
Foster Respect: Maintaining a training centre where respect and equality are the baseline for every interaction.
A Huge Thank You
We want to extend a massive thank you to LCL Awards for featuring us and for their ongoing support in promoting a more inclusive industry. You can read their full article about our journey here.
Most importantly, thank you to our learners and our team. You are the ones who make HTAA the supportive, vibrant community it is. Whether you’re just starting your career or you’re a seasoned pro coming back for assessments, know that there is a seat at the table for you here.
Let’s keep building a more inclusive industry, together.
