Using UK Shared Prosperity Funding, this initiative will help prepare those who are self-employed, as well as small to medium-sized businesses by offering free or subsidised accredited courses.
Focussing on increasing skills and awareness of sustainable and net zero skills – some of the courses on offer include:

There are many more courses available as part of this scheme that offer accredited green skills to qualified Electricians and Gas Engineers allowing them to upskill into the installation and servicing of sustainable energy systems.
Future development will require very high standards of sustainable construction and this programme will equip our local tradespeople with the skills they need.
Working with local training providers to unlock valuable training opportunities and investing in a highly skilled workforce is the cornerstone for a thriving local economy. Skills training is a top priority as we strive for a sustainable future.
