This #GreenCareersWeek, we’re proud to showcase one of our grantees: the Centre for Sustainable Construction and Retrofit at Nottingham Trent University's INSPiRE project - a new initiative that champions both climate action & inclusion in the workforce. Watch this space for future updates!

A quote card featuring Rachel Macrorie, Research Fellow at the Centre for Sustainable Construction and Retrofit, Nottingham Trent University. Rachel states: "Ensuring a skilled retrofit workforce is essential for the UK to upgrade and decarbonise our homes to be fit for a changing climate and provide a safe, comforting space conducive to a healthy lifestyle. The critical labour and skills gap facing the construction industry, together with rising demand for retrofit, present key opportunities to up- and re-skill existing tradespeople and provide new entrants with a valuable career path".
