Bolsover District Council will be the lead partner on behalf of councils, colleges, universities, independent training providers and retrofit and associated employers from across Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.

Overview

Agenda -more to be confirmed:

- Shaping Green Skills in Construction: From Insights to Action - University of Nottingham and Nottingham College

This session will share emerging insights from a collaborative research project with Nottingham College on green skills in construction, alongside findings from a targeted Retrofit research webinar with industry stakeholders. Building on this evidence, the session will focus on identifying practical priorities for action – including how to better align industry demand with training provision, address barriers to uptake (particularly for SMEs), and strengthen coordination across the system. The discussion will invite participants to reflect on what a more joined-up, responsive approach to green skills in the East Midlands could look like in practice.

Joining us for this event will be project researcher Rebecca Sarah Ciarla (other colleagues tbc).
