Talan supports delivery of Gas Safe Register student engagement trial
Talan is supporting the delivery of a new industry trial designed to understand how students and trainees can be supported as they begin their careers in the gas sector, working on behalf of Gas Safe Register and the Health and Safety Executive.
Talan has contributed to the development of the trial from its early stages, including designing a range of student-facing resources such as career pathway guidance and the new Gas Safe Register Student Hub. The hub has been created to provide a clear and accessible landing point for trial participants, giving them easy access to information and support throughout the trial.
The initiative invites individuals training to become gas engineers to take part in a structured programme that offers practical support. The trial offers guidance covering registration, safety, career progression and the future skills needed in a changing industry in a ‘Student Hub’ found on the Gas Safe Register website. There are also plans to hold live webinars with gas engineers during which students can ask questions.
As part of its role in the trial, Talan has worked closely with the Gas Safe Register to shape the structure and presentation of the Student Hub, ensuring that information is easy to navigate and relevant to the needs of trainees at different stages of their learning journey. Talan are using surveys to collect feedback from students on the quality of the support so it can be improved and developed further in future.
Talan have engaged with awarding bodies and training providers across the sector to support participation in the trial and help ensure it reaches students in a range of training environments.
Will Taylor, Principal Consultant at Talan, said:
“Our role has been focused on supporting the development and delivery of the trial in a way that works for trainees in practice. That has included shaping resources such as career pathways and guidance, as well as working with Gas Safe Register on how the Student Hub is structured so it’s clear, accessible and easy to use. We have also worked closely with awarding bodies and training providers to help ensure the trial reaches students across the sector. Bringing together that engagement with practical support gives a stronger understanding of what trainees need as they start out and how that support can continue to improve.”
The trial will run until 31st July 2026 and is available through the Gas Safe Register Student Hub.
