Working with clients and contractors to build the workforce needed to deliver high-quality, large-scale retrofit programmes!
Our unique Workforce Development Partnerships are building the skills base needed to deliver high-quality, large-scale retrofit programmes.
We support contractors, clients and the supply chain in four key ways:
Developing In-House Capability
Supporting the Supply Chain
Enabling Social Value
Growing Capacity
The success of major retrofit projects depends on well-trained workforces that understand how to apply best practice. But as it stands, there are not enough qualified people to meet demand.
Our workforce development solution is designed to tackle this challenge head on, helping organisations identify exactly what’s needed to deliver whole-house retrofit programmes and create company training plans that attract, upskill and deploy new retrofit talent.
Our workforce development solution is about getting your projects moving with the right people in place. We’ll implement a plan that achieves lasting success, no matter the scale or complexity. This includes:
Defines the team needed to deliver your retrofit projects
Determines current knowledge and skills and identifies upskilling opportunities
Presents the workforce you need and pinpoints the gaps
Maximises the plan’s impact and accounts for necessary adjustments
Workforce development is for housing associations and contractors that have been tasked with the delivery of government-funded projects. This includes the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund and the Home Upgrade Grant. Corporate enhanced members of The Retrofit Academy receive this as part of their annual membership. Find out more!
