The Construction Index reports that the Green Homes Grant Skills Competition is for training organisations to help create a workforce equipped and trained to deliver the scheme.
The competition will make available up to £6.9m to support an increase in capacity of the installer base in England, and so support PAS and MCS certification through the delivery of training courses in order to implement the Green Homes Grant Scheme according the following work packages. A maximum of £1m will be available for each training project,
The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy hopes that the funding could result in up to 5,000 training opportunities. The number of projects funded will depend on the range of solutions proposed and the quality of the proposals received.
