Green Deal Installers to get £3.5 Million for Training

 

The Government has pledged to spend 3.5 Million pounds on training for the Green Deal. But where exactly is the money going? £2 Million is going to the CITB-Construction Skills the partner the DECC has chosen to use for the bulk of the hands on training, they are contributing a further 500k to the fund.

Energy and Climate Change Secretary Edward Davey said:

“This money will help hundreds of people gear up for the Green Deal and ensure this scheme is a real success on the ground. We have worked hand in hand with industry to get this right and are targeting funding at the areas where there is an urgent need as well as a clear demand. We hope this will encourage businesses across the country to fully prepare their staff for the launch of the Green Deal later this year.”

There has been news of a skills shortage within the industry with regard to insulation installation. Have you got experience within the industry and will you be enrolling in specialist Installation? We’d love to hear your expectations and experiences.
