Finding the right skills for Green Deal
Green Deal Opportunities for Northern Ireland Employers
The Green Deal represents opportunities for built environment employers working in energy efficiency throughout England, Wales and Scotland.
However, in the current economic climate it is important that Northern Ireland employers don’t miss out and Green Deal opportunities can be maximised by expanding your market and working overseas in Britain.
The Belfast Green Deal Connections road show is the seventh free, half day event designed to raise awareness of the new skills required by energy assessors, advisors and installers working in the Green Deal.
The Northern Ireland Assembly Government has included funding of £12 million in its budget for three years from 2012-13 for Green New Deal and now the emergence of Green Deal in Britain presents an opportunity to make significant progress in tackling the wider Green Agenda and in aiding economic recovery.
Furthermore, Green Deal skills and training provide a template of learning for other high quality professionals working within all aspects of energy efficiency, regardless of government policy, such as Domestic Energy Assessors.
The Green Deal Connections events are organised by the Green Deal Skills Alliance (more below).
