Investing in Future Talent: Alternative Heat Supports St Malachy’s High School Initiative
8 February 2026
Alternative Heat is proud to support St Malachy’s High School as the school expands its programme to connect pupils with real-world careers and future opportunities, following the award of funding from the James Kane Foundation.
The funding will help strengthen initiatives that provide young people with greater insight into industry, career pathways and the skills required in today’s workplace. Through collaboration with local employers, pupils will gain valuable exposure to the world of work, helping them make more informed decisions about their futures.
As a long-standing supporter of education and skills development, Alternative Heat has been involved with the programme from its early stages, working alongside fellow industry partners to help bridge the gap between education and employment.

Caoimhe Byrne, Alternative Heat, said:
“Congratulations to Peter Hynes, the team at St Malachy’s High School, and to the James Kane Foundation for supporting such important work. Giving young people access to real-world insight and opportunity is vital. Alternative Heat is proud to play our part in such a brilliant initiative.”
Developing the next generation of talent is essential for the continued growth of the manufacturing industry across Northern Ireland. By working closely with schools, we can help students better understand the opportunities available to them while providing practical insight into the skills, behaviours and experiences that add value.

At Alternative Heat, developing future talent is a key part of the company’s commitment to supporting the communities in which it operates. The company looks forward to continuing its partnership with St Malachy’s High School and helping inspire the next generation as they explore their future career options.
