In this episode, Russell Dean from Ecodan is in conversation with Architect and Ecodan Ambassador George Clarke, Will Allanson, Deputy Principal at Harlow College and Lance Hitchins, People and Training Manager at Mitsubishi Electric. The group discusses the transitional challenges of upskilling UK gas engineers to be able to install air source heat pumps. Lance explains the benefits of Mitsubishi Electric's new Ecodan Training Centre at Hatfield – allowing their courses to combine online group sessions with more personal, 'hands-on' teaching. Will Allanson from Harlow College talks about promoting 'carbon literacy' and 'decarbonising their college curriculum' to deliver sustainable heating education to the next generation of heating installers.This episode was recorded on 6th Sept 2022.01:06 / The need to upskill02:15 / Ecodan training challenges 03:50 / Learning plumbing and electrics 11:30 / Decarbonising the curriculum13:00 / Engaging with employers for jobs 15:00 / Transitional phase for skills 18:00 / Regional job opportunities23:00 / A sustainable journey28:45 / Educate for carbon literacy34:50 / Mitsubishi Electric Ecodan35:15 / The green economy36:15 / The commercial benefits of Ecodan 39:00 / The opportunities for gas installers 44:20 / The biggest challenge for educators 53:20 / Honesty, education & collaboration https://les.mitsubishielectric.co.uk/upskill-to-ecodanhttps://les.mitsubishielectric.co.uk/homeowners/our-heat-pumpshttps://www.harlow-college.ac.uk/https://podcast.ecodan.uk/
