Helping Government Tackle the Retrofit Skills Gap

We work with central, regional and local government to build the workforce needed for housing decarbonisation. Our qualifications form the backbone of the UK’s retrofit curriculum.

The Retrofit Academy works with central, regional and local government
as well as key agencies SUCH AS Net Zero Hubs

Supporting Government
Initiatives

The Retrofit Academy’s primary focus is on social housing and local authority-led retrofit programmes. These include the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF), and the Home Upgrade Grant (HUG), which are schemes that have the principles of PAS 2035 at their hearts.

The Retrofit Academy works with government agencies nationwide through:

Funding

We deploy government-funded initiatives, such as Skills Bootcamps, to upskill the industry

partnerships

We work with local authorities to build a retrofit supply chain and labour force locally to capture social value

projects

We manage and deliver large-scale skills programmes to benefit local communities
