Recharging Electrical Skills
In November 2023 the ECA launched theirRecharging Electrical Skills Charter in the House of Commons. The event was oversubscribed. The reason, because every political party knows finding solutions to the skills crisis is central to future success. Every business knows they cannot grow without a skilled workforce. And everyone is waking up to the fact electricians are crucial to society and the economy.
Electricians are in the vanguard of the shift to net zero. Yet there are simply not enough of them.
A safe transition to net zero
Electrification of the UK is expected to grow ten-fold in the next decade to meet our net zero targets.
The rapid electrification of the country creates complex challenges. We need skilled workers to install, maintain and integrate net zero technologies, safely.
Professional electricians are key to the UK making a safe transition to net zero. The new government must step up to the skills challenge to prepare for an electrified UK.
The shortage of electricians reaches beyond the industry, it affects everyone.
- Without professional electricians you cannot install or maintain low carbon technologies.
- Without professional electricians you cannot guarantee the new tech. is properly integrated and therefore energy efficient.
- Without energy efficiency energy bills will remain high.
- Without professional electricians you cannot guarantee the safe and reliable electricity we all have come to expect.
Here at PTT we are able to offer training courses towards becoming a fully qualified electrician. We also offer training courses in renewable technologies.
