The Spurs foundation has set up the nine-week programme, which includes robotics and sustainability for the global transition towards green energy by helping youngsters develop skills in science, technology, engineering and maths.

It is working with Schneider Electric - a French multinational corporation that specializes in digital automation and energy management - to run workshops on problem-solving and critical thinking.

“We need to inspire talent from an early age to harness the global energy transition,” Schneider Electric’s UK president Kelly Becke said.

“Environmental change is equipping the next generation with skills to develop efficient energy for a sustainable future.”

The programme offers apprenticeships for school-leavers in the Tottenham area.

It is also aiming at working towards 100 per cent renewable energy for all electrical equipment at the White Hart stadium, which includes the world’s first electric karting facility.
