The Retrofit Skills Centre

 

The South London Partnership has launched an online hub to signpost the construction workforce to training and qualifications in retrofit.

With 635,000 properties to decarbonise over the next decade, retrofit work in South London is a £17bn opportunity of high value jobs. The aim of the Retrofit Skills Centre is to give the South London construction sector a competitive advantage by gearing them up with the right skills and qualifications to take on the work.

Courses on the online hub include training in PAS 2035 identified roles such as Retrofit Coordinator and Retrofit Assessor, as well as a range of installation NVQs and apprenticeships.
