Range of Fás courses target green technology training

THE Government has announced a range of Fás courses aimed at retraining thousands of construction workers in the installation of green technologies in homes and businesses across the country.

The Government, and in particular Communications, Energy and Natural Resources Minister Eamon Ryan, has been keen to promote the national roll-out of ‘clean-tech and green’ energy process.

The courses announced by Enterprise Minister and Tánaiste Mary Coughlan will enable workers to convert and upgrade their skills to allow them to install the technology as well as carrying out compliance and energy rating assessments.
