IDEAL Industries is continuing its commitment to nurturing new talent in the UK electrical sector by sponsoring the SPARKS Learner of the Year contest. The move is part of a wide-ranging programme of product development and partnerships from IDEAL Industries aimed at supporting electrical students and apprentices.

The SPARKS Learner of the Year contest is a national competition, with six regional events culminating in a grand final. Around 10-14 contestants will battle it out for each regional accolade, with the regional winners going forward to compete in the final.

With regional heats due to take place in January and February 2022, and the grand final scheduled to take place over two days during April, the competition involves a six-hour practical test, judged by NAPIT.

Brett Smyth, general manager of IDEAL Industries EMEA comments: “Our focus as a business is on developing products that make electrical installations faster, safer and more consistent. Working with trainee and apprentice electricians enables us to highlight the innovative new approaches we have developed and support them with contemporary installation techniques as they begin their careers. We’re proud to sponsor this award and wish all the contestants the very best of luck.”
