Success of Net Zero Awareness Raising Pilot

Cyfle, a leader in providing building skills and apprenticeships, has successfully completed its pilot project, collaborating with regional schools and colleges to raise awareness of net zero and low carbon technologies within the construction sector.
Closely linked with several City Deal projects its aim was to address the urgent need for carbon reduction in the construction industry by delivering industry relevant carbon reduction training.

By the end of the project, Cyfle had equipped individuals with the skills necessary to meet the growing demand for expertise in this area and superseded its targets. Key achievements included:

• 1,124 individuals gained additional skills
• 157 people were helped into apprenticeships
• 30 pupils engaged with additional skills
• 164 individuals supported by jobs

"It’s really important for us to attend local colleges to educate students about renewable technology. Going through the apprenticeship it educates the apprentice about the renewable technologies available and that they can implement in their workplace as well as establishing what can affect the later on in life through climate change."
