Strong demand for trades people trained in installing and maintaining eco friendly power systems

(24/10/2008)

Train 4 Trade Skills predicts that Britain will face a mushrooming demand for trades people trained and proficient in installing and maintaining eco friendly power systems.

The home study college’s principal Myra Smallman said “We’re already seeing gas and electricity prices soar, and this, coupled with growing awareness of alternate `green’ energy systems, will drive a huge demand for electricians trained to install and maintain these systems.

There’s already a nationwide shortage of British skilled trades people. As immigrant workers return home, the skills gap will widen. Add to this the growth in demand for green energy and it’s clear that those who train for a trade skill now, will be looking at a secure future. The task ahead now is to make sure that enough trained plumbers and electricians will be entering the jobs market in time.”

Train 4 Trade Skills courses encompass training in the electrical skills necessary for alternative energy systems, as well as full training to NVQ level 3, including C&G, BPEC & CITB certifications.
