Training 6
As the industry evolves to meet government targets to decarbonise homes across the UK, just how confident is the workforce to tackle the challenges ahead? Is the need for upskilling and retraining regarded as a positive step forward and how will installers navigate the surge in demand for heat pumps and updated installations?
As we approach the launch of campaigns such as the Boiler Grant Scheme, due for release in April, as part of the government’s plans to drive down the cost of low carbon heating technologies, we believe reflection on past scheme failures will be the key to moving forward effectively in the future.
