Working Group 3 considers how a robust, skilled and competent retrofit workforce can be developed to meet local need.

The group explores procurement and social value levers, SME participation in retrofit supply chains, diversity within the workforce and the quality and security of retrofit jobs. It also considers how baseline retrofit skills can be embedded across construction training and what is required from local and national government on workforce policy.
