Built Environment Skills Directory

This portal maps across Scotland training providers, colleges, universities and online courses available in Scotland with a focus on decarbonisation of the built environment.

It is a tool to guide students and those looking to upskill or reskill within sustainable practices and is a freely available resource.

Student and apprenticeship development

As part of the Schools and Further Education Programme by BE-ST and Hub North Scotland, we have compiled a resource guide for teachers and educators to support student and apprenticeship development.

The guide contains a host of content around sustainable and net zero methods, giving practical examples of best practice, links to industry experience and highlighting resources available.
