This month we will be delving into Sustainable skills with Seamus Hoyne, Dean of Flexible and Work Place Learning and director of Industry Engagement at the Technological University of Shannon: Midlands Midwest (Ireland).

In the interview, Hoyne answers questions about whether the workforce in Ireland fit for the ambitious climate and energy targets in the building sector, what his organisation and other key stakeholders in Ireland are doing to address the skills gap, and how he expects the revised EU regulatory framework will impact the skillset required from building professionals, amongst other topics.
