Conclusion
It is vital that the heating and energy efficiency workforce has the capacity and skills required for the job at hand. This will require training new workers as well as supporting existing workers in the home heating sector. It is imperative that the 56 Decarbonising Heat in Homes Government actively supports and encourages the upskilling of workers, with a commitment to prioritising the existing home heating workforce, through local, work-based training schemes. We expected the Heat and Buildings Strategy to provide a strategic direction on how the heating workforce would be upskilled and we waited a long time for this to be published. However, the strategy failed to adequately deal with this issue.
