Beach to Meter

Need

A new innovative way to teach the Beach to Meter gas journey, and to excite new employees and apprentices about Cadent Gas and its vision.   

The module explains key customer service roles, the company vision and values as well as plans for a Hydrogen future by 2030.  

Approach

We facilitated the design and delivery of a tailored self-lead gaming module within Minecraft which can be accessed by current Cadent Gas employees.

The aim of the module is to introduce the player, a new starter at Cadent Gas, to the end-to-end UK gas journey as part of their induction and to be used at career fairs for Cadent Gas’ recruitment team.

  • Recreate parts of the Cadent Gas Network, NTS and Terminal operators.    
  • Highlight the key features of the UK gas system end to end – what are they and what their role  is.
  • Who the organisation is and what they do – GDNs, NTS, etc .
  • Feature key activities and roles – to excite players around the diversity of career opportunities.
  • Show players key metrics – volumes, amount of energy transported, length of the system.
  • Show key engineering features, types of assets, what they do, key metrics .  
  • Explain plans for a new Hydrogen system.
  • Measurement tools to gather evidence of impact, using simple tests to clarify understanding and learning throughout the game.
