Research calls for new skills for the built environment workforce

摘要

More consistency in energy efficiency policy between the different UK nations is needed, as is better awareness of the overall green agenda among industry and consumers, if the UK is to meet its 2020 energy efficiency target set as part of the EU's 2020 energy efficiency target. So concludes a new report from Build Up Skills UK, an alliance of four sector skills councils. Build Up Skills UK is an alliance of Asset Skills, SummitSkills, CITB-ConstructionSkills and Energy & Utility Skills. The four SSCs are undertaking a programme of research to ensure that the built environment workforce has the skills necessary for the UK to meet its 2020 carbon emission reduction targets. Industry bodies, employers, training providers and other stakeholders have been interviewed for the study.
