Green Deal Cash for Training

 The government has announced funding of £3.5 million to help train hundreds of people in key green skills ahead of the launch of the Green Deal this autumn. DECC is also funding a £10m competition to be launched in early May to support the incorporation of innovative technologies which can achieve significant energy savings in existing non-domestic buildings. Non-domestic buildings, such as schools, shops, offices, hotels, are associated with 18% of the UK’s total carbon emissions so reducing energy demand in this sector will help the country meet its climate targets.
