The Warm Homes Plan will support up to 180,000 additional jobs in energy efficiency and clean heating by 2030. It includes our £8 million Warm Homes Skills Programme and a £7 million Heat Training Grant already helping people gain requisite skills and qualifications.
The Plan also highlights DESNZ’s wider work to support growth, including co-chairing the Warm Homes Plan Workforce Taskforce to facilitate the transition, creation and growth of a diverse, skilled and resilient workforce for existing workers and new entrants, and working with other government departments and the industry-led Construction Skills Mission Board to accelerate workforce growth in construction.
