Recommendation 25
25
Heat Training Grant inadequately compensates workers for lost earnings during low carbon retrofit upskilling.
Conclusion
The Heat Training Grant does not adequately incentivise workers to take time off work to upskill on low carbon retrofit or compensate them for lost earnings. Many workers in the retrofit sector are self-employed and cannot afford to take time off work to commit to a multi-day course. (Conclusion, Paragraph 137)
