Retrofit Practical Training

Scotland’s ambitious target to reach net zero by 2045 requires significant change across the built environment industry. The retrofit of historic building stock plays a pivotal part in helping to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon.

However, amid an escalating skills shortage, there are growing concerns that workforce gaps in the construction sector could delay progress. Addressing this challenge is critical, and support is available.

Retrofit Scotland offers a range of training and resources to help upskill professionals and ensure Scotland is ready to deliver on its retrofit ambitions.
