Does the UK have the skills for a retrofit revolution?

Experts join the 21CC podcast to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing construction employers in the retrofit market.

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 play a major role in helping to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon.

    But will a chronic and growing skills shortage hinder the retrofit revolution?

    In the latest episode of the 21CC podcast, experts from the UK’s Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) tackle this thorny question and explore the skills-related challenges and opportunities shaping the retrofit sector.

    Hear from:

    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?
