Environmental Technologies
The building services engineering sector has a major role to play in meeting the carbon reduction targets set by Government.
Reducing emissions, lowering energy consumption and conserving water cannot be achieved unless this sector designs, installs and maintains renewable and environmental technologies, and provides the best advice to customers.
There’s a huge challenge ahead for employers to have the right skills in place to adapt and respond to new system designs and working practices.
What has been achieved?
SummitSkills has been proactive in addressing environmental technologies skills needs. At an early stage we identified the key issues affecting the sector; since then we have been working with partners and stakeholders to develop and implement solutions.
At the heart of skills development for tomorrow's low carbon workforce will be the new National Skills Academy for Environmental Technologies. It will transform the way the sector plans, develops and delivers renewable and environmental technology skills.
