Berkeley Group has launched the Net Zero Skills in Construction Programme, an initiative providing construction training, support and awareness for two years.
Organisations like Berkeley Group, Kier, Balfour Beatty, Morgan Sindall, and others from the School’s Future Workforce Leadership Group, helped shape the training to ensure it addresses real-world needs across the construction supply chain.
Ian Heptonstall, co-founder and director of the Supply Chain Sustainability School, said: “Our platform offers practical, high-quality training free of charge, making net-zero skills accessible across the sector. This programme is about creating lasting impact — with resources available long after the initial rollout to support ongoing industry progress.”
The programme’s focus is on empowering both education providers and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to confidently adopt net-zero approaches.
Catherine Hawkett, senior future skills manager of Berkeley Group, added: “The built environment sector plays a vital role in the UK’s journey to net-zero.
“By working with CITB and the Supply Chain Sustainability School, we’re ensuring the sector has the skills and tools needed for a sustainable future.”
