The low-carbon heating organisation Daikin UK has partnered with the Green Skill Academy to train green heating tutors at nine Greater Manchester colleges
From this week (21 September), 4,000 people will be offered £500 in funding towards training to install and maintain heat networks through the Heat Training Grant.
Current± sat down with co-founders Mat Ilic, CEO of Greenworkx and Richard Ng, CTO to discuss Greenworkx’s mission to help solve the green skills emergency.
Heat pump supplier Daikin UK and Quantum Group have formed a partnership to roll out bespoke Renewable Training Facilities at around 150 further education colleges that already offer built environment study programmes.
With the UK government target of installing 600,000 heat pumps a year by 2028 fast approaching, the heat pump industry is aiming to fill skills shortages with a new apprenticeship which could be ready to start later this year.
