Preparing the Australian workforce with skills for retrofit requires education and training – this is one of the key challenges facing retrofit uptake. Stakeholders across the whole supply chain need new technical and conceptual capacity for retrofit knowledge and skills to become a reality at scale. Current skill shortages in disciplines, professions and industries need to ‘catch up’ and prepare for changing market and practice demands. What does our workforce need to know, and to be able to do, to deliver the retrofit revolution?
