Description:
In the UK, we need to install 8 million heat pumps over the next decade and will need some 27,000 additional technicians in order to do so to reach net zero. Given the volume of work left to do, we're asking why is it that only 3% of those working in the trades, such as plumbers and electricians, are women? We spoke with Leah Robson from Your Energy Your Way who is ensuring renewable energy training schemes are not only fit for purpose, but infinitely more inclusive. Today her workforce sits at 50:50 men and women and in this podcast we discuss the challenges and opportunities created by striving for equal opportunity and attracting the tremendous volumes of people needed to power the clean energy transition. Enjoy!
