Heat Academy - Training & Innovation
THE HEAT ACADEMY is an international training, collaboration and innovation platform offering a modular training concept in a broad range of topics related to decarbonisation of heating and cooling. The mission is to address the competence and capacity gaps in the sector by offering hands-on training and facilitating collaboration and sharing of best practice. The Heat Academy is a fully independent organisation based on a collaborative model involving partnerships with local colleges, universities, public institutions, energy operators, investors and the wider supply chain.
The training courses are designed along two broad categories
- Master Classes focusing on the theoretical aspects of implementing smart energy infrastructure – e.g. political, strategic, legal, financial, commercial, technical, leadership and communication/ PR. Since the start in 2014, some 4000 professionals in 12 markets have participated in training sessions organised by The Heat Academy.
- Vocational Training addressing the practical activities related to design, installation, operations and maintenance of systems. The strategy is to establish collaboration with local universities and colleges, as well as the broader supply chain, there by speeding up expansion in scope and reach.
The Heat Academy is also initiating and leading collaborative innovation programmes involving progressive industry partners in the supply chain, universities and industry organisations. Further to that, an Professional Learning Programmes have recently been launched offering trainee programmes and on-site work practice in cooperation with industry partners, e.g. energy operators and contractors.
