Knipex helps apprentices get off to a flying start with its new online learning hub

Knipex has created SkillsForge, a new online learning hub built specifically for those starting out in the trades. It is designed to give apprentices free access to practical training content and tailored resources to help build skills, confidence and good working habits from day one.

SkillsForge is a dedicated platform that supports apprentices and educators across the electrical, plumbing and construction industries by bringing learning and career opportunities together in one place. Access is free and once signed up, users also receive a quarterly newsletter with updates highlighting new tutorials, upcoming giveaways and fresh resources.

Apprentices can access step-by-step tutorial videos presented by Knipex product specialists, showing how to choose the right tools and use them correctly in real on-site situations. For educators, SkillsForge offers tutors practical materials to help demonstrate techniques and teach best practice effectively.

To mark the launch, Knipex is giving away some of its top tools. The Knipex ComStrip and Knipex Cobra 180 mm are perfect additions to an apprentice toolkit. The Cobra 180 mm offers push-button adjustment directly on the workpiece, fine adjustment and self-clamps on pipes and nuts for secure, effortless working. The ComStrip automatic insulation stripper is an ideal entry level tool, designed to strip solid, multi-stranded and finely stranded conductors quickly and reliably. There are 20 of each product available and entrants can choose which tool they’d like to win when signing up.

David Barnes, Marketing Manager at Knipex, said:

“By bringing learning, support and incentives together, the new SkillsForge reflects our ongoing commitment to skills development and to supporting those at the very start of their careers.”
