Stamford College T Level and Electrical Students Put Skills to the Test with Industry Leader Gripple

T Level and Electrical students at Stamford College gained valuable hands-on industry experience earlier this week during a special campus visit from global manufacturer Gripple.

The practical workshop gave learners the opportunity to work directly with Gripple’s market-leading mechanical and electrical (M&E) suspension solutions, bridging the gap between classroom theory and real-world, on-site installation practices.

During the session, students put their technical knowledge and speed to the test in a timed Fast Trak installation competition. Working against the clock, learners raced to complete installations accurately, with the fastest installers walking away with exclusive merchandise from social media personality Steve Bracknall, Assistant Manager of Royal Oak FC, a club proudly sponsored by Gripple for the 2026/27 season.

Stamford College works closely with regional and national employers across its technical and vocational programmes to ensure students complete their courses with the practical skills, confidence, and industry insight demanded by modern workplaces.
