Women in retrofit | RISE Masterclass

A practical session exploring women’s leadership in retrofit, the skills and qualification pathways that support progression, and the essential elements of effective programme delivery. We’ll look at how housing providers can build diverse, multidisciplinary teams capable of meeting net zero commitments, drawing on real‑world examples and lessons from large‑scale upgrade programmes.

Agenda:

• Women in retrofit today: current landscape, challenges, and opportunities in housing and construction.
• Women leading retrofit: practical examples from WECA, Anchor, and large‑scale upgrade programmes.
• Making the difference: PAS 2035 in practice, resident engagement, programme delivery, and technical standards.
• Building skilled, diverse teams: attracting women into technical pathways, training routes, mentoring models, and future workforce needs.
