Greater Manchester’s Fully-Funded

Why Retrofit Career Development?

The Retrofit Academy is an industry-leading not-for-profit organisation, central to delivering training and support to the next generation of retrofit professionals in the UK.

Our vision is a world where every home is warm, healthy and low carbon. To create the efficient homes required to meet the UK’s emissions goals, the country needs an army of retrofitters in professional, technical and skilled craft roles. And that’s where we come in.

The Retrofit Academy is working together with Greater Manchester Combined Authority to deliver multiple Retrofit career development opportunities as part of their ‘Skills for Growth’ programme under the European Social Fund (ESF). The new programme of courses is fully funded and is here to deliver leading-edge retrofit training and qualifications to help both teams and individuals prepare as demand for energy efficiency in residences increases.
