The Organisation

The Retrofit Academy (TRA) is a Community Interest Company dedicated to improving the sustainability of the UK's housing stock.

Our vision is a world where every home is warm, healthy and low carbon and our mission is to train and develop over 200,000 competent retrofitters by 2030.

We measure our success based on our impact, not our balance sheet.

We have become a key partner to government and industry in the journey towards net zero and are the UK's leading retrofit training and skills organisation.

We have a 30-strong team who share our core values of being positive, ethical, empowering and practical.

We have developed six leading retrofit qualifications as well as six other retrofit training courses and have already trained 6,000 retrofitters.

We have established vibrant partnerships with government bodies, local authorities, training providers and major retrofit clients and contractors nationwide.

We have won awards for the quality of our training, our collaborative social value projects and our contribution to Net Zero.

Our impact on the retrofit skills sector is impressive and is something we are keen to strengthen.

Our organisation has four core values: Positive, Ethical, Empowering and Practical. These are central to our organisation, and we are keen to recruit people who reflect them.

The business has embraced digital, which is now a core aspect of our operating model. Our products and services are highly automated using a variety of integrated systems.

Effective and efficient digital solutions that are appropriately automated and integrated are critical to the smooth running of the business and our future success.
