Recommendation 23

23

Slow transition of skilled home heating workforce to low carbon retrofit, compounded by ageing.

The UK has a skilled home heating workforce but its transition to work on low carbon retrofit is not happening at the pace required to upgrade homes at scale. This is compounded by a twin underlying crisis: few new entrants to the sector and an ageing workforce. (Conclusion, Paragraph 135)
