South Yorkshire Retrofit Skills Task Force

South Yorkshire Retrofit Skills Task Force Launch

You’re invited because we recognise that you are an important part of the retrofit community in our region. We value your insights and your questions.

For our launch event, representatives from Ecofit and our partners: Aviva and South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA), are joined by Arup and our representative of local construction SMEs, who will share insights on stimulating local supply and demand. Its about enabling ecosystems, where people, places, and businesses are working together to create lasting impact.

About the South Yorkshire Retrofit Skills Task Force

Harnessing the region's energy and ambition, we'll build a network of South Yorkshire professionals and community working collaboratively to deliver our region’s retrofit goals. We will co-create an infrastructure with partners to grow and nurture local skills, whilst stimulating homeowners to retrofit their homes.

The South Yorkshire Retrofit Skills Task Force will:

• Map existing activity, training and workforce capacity across South Yorkshire
• Build a regional action plan for recruitment, skills, and delivery
• Strengthen local supply chains by connecting SMEs, Tier 1 contractors, and community-led initiatives
• Inspire homeowners and landlords to invest in energy efficiency upgrades
