Do we have the skills for a retrofit revolution?

  • Resumen

  • The UK’s ambitious target to reach net zero by 2050 requires significant change across the construction industry. The retrofit of historic building stock will undoubtedly play a pivotal role in helping to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon. But against the backdrop of a growing skills shortage, will challenges across the construction workforce hinder the much-needed retrofit revolution? In the latest episode of the 21CC podcast, two CITB experts convene to answer this question and explore the skills-related challenges and opportunities that will shape the retrofit sector. The speakers are:
    • Wendy Osborn, head of strategic operations at CITB
    • Kevin McLoughlin FCIOB, managing director of McLoughlin Group Holdings and member of the CITB board

    The discussion also addresses:
    • Are apprenticeship pathways into retrofit-related careers working?
    • How is the perception of retrofit skills and competence evolving, particularly in the aftermath of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry?
    • How is CITB working with employers to support the recruitment of new talent and upskill the existing workforce?
