SummitSkills is reminding building services engineering employers in England that the deadline is looming for access to potential funding of half the cost of training related to environmental technologies.
The Joint Investment Programme brings together public and private investment to support skills development in areas key to economic recovery and future growth. This means employers in England could get ring-fenced funding to buy the skills they want, with the training provider they choose.

Level 3 qualifications covered by the funding include: solar thermal; heat pump; solar photovoltaic; and water recycling systems. Each qualification provides specific training to develop a competence standard matching that required for the Microgeneration Certification Scheme.

Time is fast running out and SummitSkills is urging employers to sign up before the closing date expires. All employers have to do is confirm their commitment in writing, agreeing to pay for half of the £358.71 cost of training and assessment. This should be by email or letter to your regional SummitSkills operations manager, by no later than Thursday September 2 2010.
