By way of introduction, Quantum are a decarbonisation specialist and renewables training provider. We have been establishing our passion for raising an awareness of the need to address the skills shortage in industry. Quantum is committed to accelerating the transition to a low-carbon economy by upskilling youth in further education. We've developed and installed renewable training facilities covering six low-carbon technologies and created a course, with the awarding body NOCN, to complement these facilities.
Our initiative started in London colleges and is expanding across the UK. We have since worked with over 30 FE colleges nationwide. Our facilities enable hands on, practical learning in low carbon technologies, which are the important practical skills needed for future careers as renewable installers and maintenance engineers. Together with these colleges, we are one step closer in addressing the urgent green skills gap to decarbonize the built environment.
