Supply chain advice pack: Apprenticeships in retrofit for the supply chain

Introduction

The domestic retrofit industry is rapidly expanding in response to the growing demand for energy-efficient homes. As the UK works towards achieving its climate goals, including net-zero emissions by 2050, the need to improve the energy performance of existing homes is more urgent than ever. This creates a massive opportunity for businesses operating within the retrofit sector.

A key part of this opportunity lies in the recruitment and training of apprentices. By bringing people into the sector, companies can ensure a steady pipeline of talent to meet current and future demand for skilled retrofit workers. This advice pack is designed to guide businesses in the retrofit supply chain on the benefits of apprenticeships and how they can successfully integrate talent into their workforce.
