Roaring success for first heat pump CPD session

One of the leading heat pump manufacturers, Samsung conducted the first Continued Professional Development (CPD) session at Eastbourne’s pioneering green training hub on 6th December 2022.

The CPD session was led by experts from Samsung and took place at the brand new Heat Pump training rig – the only one of this type in Sussex. As part of the day, Samsung also provided unique 1-2-1 update training for cutting-edge technology to local heating engineers.
The Training Hub has been set up by OHM Energy in partnership with East Sussex College (ESC) and is located at Hampden Retail Park, Eastbourne. The venture is attracting leading names and offers a new way of industry training and reskilling for adult and 16-19 year old learners to enter the rapidly expanding renewable energy market.

The green energy sector suffers from a critical skills gap as the UK transitions to a high skill low carbon economy for 2050. The latest data from the Office of National Statistics shows that the government will be unable to deliver green jobs targets.

OHM Energy and East Sussex College have set up the new centre to bridge the skills gap for the sector, to help with local employment and to support Local Authorities, construction companies, homeowners and businesses to improve insulation and install green energy products in commercial properties and housing.
