Green Building

BACH starts its journey to support its members as they work towards NetZero.

Every College and Training Provider will see 1000s of changes as every trade takes steps towards NetZero

Every Project or Campaign needs a name.  BACH needs to decide if to use NetZero, Carbon Reduction, Climate Change, Sustainability, Green agenda etc etc.

Discussing this with other organisations why they have selected one of the above, but there seems one underlining reason.  Funding.  Today NetZero is attracting the cash.  COP26 in Glasgow uses Climate Change.

CLC  (Construction Leadership Council) uses CO2nstructZero  The 2 should be dropped down, but some posts will not support this.  While I personally don't find another name helpful, following the CLC lead makes sense. You can see their Performance Framework at https://www.constructionleadershipcouncil.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/CZ-Performance-Framework-Version-1-20_7_21.pdf

I guess everything also needs to follow the government's Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution.

BACH is keen to work with other organisations facing the challenges of how to constantly change teaching in the FE sector to reflect new materials, change of rules, understanding the requirements of major employers and much small businesses.  If organisations focusing on NetZero, Carbon Reduction, Climate Change, Sustainability, Green agenda wish to work with BACH and its Members please contact ian Stirling ian.s@bach.ac.uk

BACH London and South East

Due to so many staff in London colleges being on short-term contracts or subject to ongoing restructuring BACH has decided its London and South East Region requires a small group of Officers instead of a Chair and Secretary. Can you assist BACH to make London an active region again? ian.s@bach.ac.uk or 0753143184.

If you lead Construction Training in or around London you can join BACH.

Covid-19 will colleges find 2020/2021 easier than Private Training Providers?

As the DfE on 17 April 2020 talks up the possibility of some financial support for providers of apprenticeships and adult education, the future for training providers looks tough. Do you and your colleges have a plan if local or national training provides collapse? Is it am opportunity to acquire some much-needed teaching staff as well as learners. BACH is open as ready to share suggestions. ian.s@bach.ac.uk
