Developing Carbon Leadership – Training Programme
Influencing Change Module
Wales is leading the way in the development and implementation of policies and programmes to deliver lower carbon consumption in the housing, built environment and construction sectors.
As the low carbon agenda becomes more developed and the reasons for seeking better carbon performance become more pressing, professionals practicing in a wide range of fields will be at the leading edge of innovation in the development and implementation of low carbon technologies. In research conducted by CREW and Construction Skills we have identified the full range of skills sets that professionals will require in this changing context and have developed a training programme: Developing Carbon Leadership.
The first module: Influencing Change is being delivered in four locations in Wales during February and March and we are making places available for practicing professionals in the relevant sectors in Wales to attend this first presentation of the short course. This is the first roll out of the initial stage of the extended programme and we will welcome your participation and contribution to the development of the module. Our offer of free places reflects this and later instances of the training will be charged at nearer commercial training rates.
Why should you attend?
It is inevitable in all professions that you will need to engage with the low carbon agenda both to secure future employment and to comply with conditions expected by leading contractors and commissioners of services. Perhaps more importantly, as professional people you will be required increasingly to provide leadership and influence to bring other partners to the development and implementation of low carbon approaches in a wide range of built environment applications. This course will provide you with the concepts, theories and practice to fulfil that leadership role and to ensure that you are able to comply with low carbon specification work in the immediate and medium term future.
The three day course is presented with Day One and Two delivered consecutively and Day Three following at a month’s interval to allow reflection on and evaluation of any changes in practice that you have implemented. The course has two routes and provides different skills dependent on your specific occupational role.
Option A is for professionals who are advising and working with businesses
Option B is for professionals advising and working with individuals & communities.
